DIRECT NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FLOW AND MASS TRANSFER IN SPACER-FILLED CHANNELS

Spacer-filled channels are employed in membrane modules in many industrial applications where feed-flow spacers (employed to separate membrane sheets and create flow channels) tend to enhance mass transport characteristics, possibly mitigating fouling and concentration polarization phenomena. In thi...
