Tóm tắt

A mathematical model has been developed for non-Newtonian flow in a hydrodynamic self-cleaning filter. The system of rheodynamic equations describing the flow of a rheologically complicated medium in the filter has been solved by a numerical method. The velocity and effective viscosity fields for the non-Newtonian liquid have been determined. The effect of the rheological properties of the liquid on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the flow has been investigated. The liquid stream lines, the trajectories of the solid particles, and the efficiency of the hydrodynamic separation of particles have been calculated. The deviation of the experimental particle separation data from the corresponding calculated data does not exceed 15%, indicating the validity of the mathematical model and computational method and demonstrating their applicability to design of hydrodynamic and separation processes.
