An Axi-Symmetric Problem of Suspensions Filtering with the Formation of a Cake Layer

In this paper, we consider a vertically positioned cylindrical filtering element. Filtering occurs in the radial direction, therefore, direction of velocities liquid and suspended particles coincide with direction. The flow can be considered to one-dimensional radially axisymmetric. To describe such process, axisymmetric Stefan problem will formulated. mass balance formalism Darcy’s law are utilized obtain basic equation for cake filtration. boundary condition at moving surface is derived filtration formulated problem. Equations that dynamics growth filtration, they numerically solved. influence different model parameters on compression fluid pressure across its thickness studied.
