Effect of Feed Spacer Mesh Length Ratio on Unsteady Hydrodynamics in 2D Spiral Wound Membrane (SWM) Channel

The present work involves the simulation and optimization of the ladder-type spacer mesh length (ML) ratio in spiral wound membranes (SWMs), using a two-dimensional (2D) integrated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The permeation properties, incorporated with a transient unsteady hydrodyn...
