  3. 1. Motivation and aims Motivation and aims

  4. CFD simulations for filtration Main criteria determining the performance of a filter element: Pressure drop – flow rate ratio; Dirt storage capacity; Size of penetrating particles. depend on: microscale (e.g. fibrous geometry, local deposition of particles, etc), and macroscale (e.g., filter element geometry, pressure, velocity distribution, etc.)

  5. Challenges to CFD simulations • Multiple scales (particles, fibres, pleats, ribs, housing,…); • Time-dependent performance; • Shortening the design time and Needs for new design ideas; • Virtual filter element design; • Extensive computational time; • Parameters measurement or calculation (permeability, deposition rate,..) • Validation of the numerical simulation results; • …

  8. Basic CFD Solver: SuFiS • Grids: Cartesian grid • Finite volume discretization on cell-centred collocated grid • Chorin projection method with implicit treatment of Darcy term • Proper treatment of discontinuous coefficients in pressure- correction equation • Subgridapproach incorporated • Specialized for filtration applications • Paralleization

  10. 3. Multiple scales. Subgrid approach Multiple scales. Subgrid approach

  11. 3. Multiple scales. Subgrid approach • State of the art (Stokes to Darcy; Darcy to Darcy; two-level DD for multiscale) • Microscale to mesoscale upscaling (Stokes to Darcy or to Brinkman) • Mesoscale to macroscale upscaling (Brinkman to Brinkman)

  12. 3. Multiple scales. Known: Upscaling Stokes to Darcy +boundary conditions: • periodic (Sanchez Palencia) • const. velocity (Allaire) • engineering approach

  13. 3. Multiple scales. Known: Darcy to Darcy +boundary conditions: • periodic • linear • presure drop+oscilatory • presure drop+Neumann Note: Some results available for Macroheterogeneous case (block permeability, e.g., Wu, Efendiev,Hou)

  14. 3. Multiple scales. Brinkman to Darcy or Brinkman

  15. Multiple scales. Subgrid approach • Choose a basic grid on which the simulations are possible; • Provide information about the fine geometrical details; • For each grid cell check if it overlaps unresolved fine geometry details • In marked cells (or their agglomeration) solve auxiliary problems on fine grid, and calculate effective permeability tensor; • Solve the modified equations on the chosen grid (the fine details are accounted via the effective permeability). Example of selected location for which effective permeability is calculated

  16. Multiple scales. Subgrid approach Usage of the subgrid approach: • Upscale and solve upscaled equations; • Upscale, solve upscaled equations and prolong the solution to the fine scale; • Iterate over scales (two-level DD with upscaling-based coarse scale operator). Open problems: • No theory for upscaling blocks containing solid, • porous and fluid; • No theory for macroheterogeneous case; • …..
