This paper numerically explores the potential of patterned membranes inducing chaotic
advection to enhance the efficiency of reverse osmosis (RO) filtration. We compared the …

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the effect of rotating patterned disks on the
flow and permeate flux in a dynamic filtration (DF) system. The DF system consists of a …

Although reciprocating membrane bioreactors (rMBRs) have been developed as energy-
efficient wastewater treatment technologies, fouling removal mechanisms are yet to be …

In this research, the impact of pattern geometry on the intensification of the performance of
surface patterned membranes for saline water desalination by direct contact membrane …

This study numerically investigates the chaotic mixing induced by chevron patterns and

This study numerically explores the influence of thixotropy on flow and mixing in a staggered-
herringbone micromixer (SHM), employing a structure-kinetics model to simulate the …

Patterned membrane surfaces offer a hydrodynamic approach to mitigating concentration
polarization and subsequent surface fouling. However, when subjected to steady crossflow …

This study presents a novel stacked-filament (SF) feed spacer designed to enhance reverse
osmosis filtration by inducing chaotic advection. We conducted numerical simulations of flow …

Membrane processes have demonstrated their enormous potential for water treatment,
either by removing organic and mineral contaminants before permeating stream discharge …
