Clogging of Model Pores with Brownian Particles

چکیده
Pore clogging with Brownian particles is of wide interest in filtration processes. We perform experiments where model sub-micrometric pores are clogged using a Brownian suspension. We study the influence of the ionic strength on the clog formation dynamics. The erosion/drag force competition is also studied using a crossflow in the inlet channel. The way the clogs disintegrate after the clogging process provides some information about their structure, which can be composed of two or three “layers” – labile or not.

Symmetry breaking in clogging for oppositely driven particles.
The clogging behavior of a symmetric binary mixture of colloidal particles that are driven in opposite directions through constrictions is explored by Brownian dynamics simulations and theory. A dynamical state with a spontaneously broken symmetry occurs where one species is flowing and the other is blocked for a long time, which can be tailored by the size of the constrictions. Moreover, we fi...
متن کاملTransport of Non-Brownian Particles in Porous Media
Fluid in porous media flows through tortuous paths. When the fluid velocities are large enough, this tortuosity and inertial effects cause suspended particles to collide with pore walls. After each collision, a particle loses momentum and needs to be accelerated again by hydrodynamic forces. As a result, the average velocity of suspended particles may be smaller than that of the fluid. In addit...

The purpose of this work is to examine the interplay between hydrodynamic conditions and physicochemical interactions from filtration experiments of microparticles. Experiments are performed in microfluidic filters with real-time visualization at pore scale. Both flow rate and pressure are measured with time to analyze the dynamics of pore clogging and permeability. Flux stepping experiments ar...

Drip irrigation is one of the new irrigation methods for optimum use of water resources and increase of irrigation efficiency. The emitters' clogging is the most important problem in these systems. The physical clogging is the most important factor in reducing the discharge and emission uniformity of emitters. The emitter position on the laterals and emitter spacing are the factors that affect ...
