Modeling Water-Induced Base Particle Migration in Loaded Granular Filters Using Discrete Element Method

Results are reported from a series of filtration tests simulated using coupled computational fluid dynamics and the discrete element method (CCFD-DEM) to investigate the factors controlling the mechanism of base particle erosion and their subsequent capture in loaded granular filters. Apart from geo...
