摘要
The motion and deposition of suspended particles in upflow unit cells of sinusoidal shape are studied using a three-dimensional trajectory analysis. Particle stagnation and exclusion regions can develop at the entrance mouth of upflow cells, the extent and distribution of which depend on several parameters including particle size, flow rate, cell geometry, and cell inclination. It is found that the particle exclusion phenomenon can become very significant over a wide range of the preceding parameters and can have significant implications in network-based simulations of upflow or horizontal flow depth filtration. A new definition of the impacted fraction is introduced that is based on the particle entrance velocity and the actual entrance region. Calculations of the deposition rate in sinusoidal collectors indicate that switching from a down flow to an upflow mode results in increased or decreased capture efficiency depending, chiefly, on the inclination of the unit collector.
