• Top disk particle trajectory behavior

• Base disk particles enter inside cavity, very rare touch interface

• Base disk particles trajectory behavior

Trajectory models•Diameter 0.1 & density 1050• Diameter 0.1 & density 2100• Diameter 0.3 & density 1050• Diameter 0.3 & density 2100

• Touch filter inlet interface: none

• Travel: mostly over rotating disks

• Settle downs: bottom of base boundary

Model-1

• Diameter: .1 to .3 μm • Density: 2100 kg/m3

• Injected particles: 4

Model-2

• Diameter: .1 to .3 μm • Density: 2100 kg/m3

• Injected particles: 6

• Touch filter inlet interface: none

• Trajectory: mostly around injection points

• Settle downs: either there or bottom of base boundary near cavity

Summary on discussions

• Particles movement follow the velocity field vector• Inside the cavity, velocity varies in different depths

Explanation of particles behavior

• Narrow cavity & airflow direction

• Low velocity magnitude

• Top disk: a loop of airflow

• Base disk: an inward-outward airflow

• High velocity flow from outlet interface

• Verification

Factorial analysis

Filter medium model:• 2-level, 3-factor, and 3-replicate factorial analysis • Pressure and velocity magnitude data across filter interfaces• 24 runs

• Factorial analysis for pressure drop data• Factorial analysis for face velocity lift data

OUTCOME

High level parameters

• Porosity: 0.8• Inertial resistance: 125.81 kg/m4

• Viscous resistance: 637.82 kg/m3-s

Input parameters

Low level parameters

• Porosity: 0.4• Inertial resistance: 28.842 kg/m4

• Viscous resistance: 158.13kg/m3-s

Outcome

PorosityPorosityLow level (0.4) is suitable for pressure dropHigh level (0.8) is preferable for face velocity lift

Inertial Inertial resistanceresistance

No impact on pressure drop and face velocity lift across filter interfaces

Viscous Viscous resistanceresistance

High level (637.82 kg/m3-s) is a good choice

Conclusions

Without filter medium airflow model

• Linearly increase of velocity

• Base disk has higher velocity

Filter medium airflow model

• Higher velocity at bottom and left

• Higher pressure at right corner of interfaces

Particle trajectory model

• Follow directions of airflow model

• Travel in a random pattern

• Scarcely touch FII

• Base disk injected particles have higher tendency to touch FII

Recommendations

• Use very high configuration computer

• Mesh size should be improved & mesh type can be changed

• Physics parameter level can be increased

• Geometric size & position can be changed

• Volumetric airflow and PCU time

• Varying disk speeds & removal of disk separator

• Particle sizes and diameters should be varied more

• One test run:

Particle injection position: top disk-MD, size:10μm & density:7000 kg/m3
