Application of computational fluid dynamics technique in reverse osmosis/nanofiltration processes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter outlines how computational fluid dynamics is used to quantify the efficiency in filtration processes. In particular, it shows how the feed spacer in the spiral-wound module increases the solute mixing but also increases the pressure drop. Both effects could be quantified in terms of scaling laws, which provides the basis for deriving application-optimal operation parameters.
