Abstract
Filtration is crucial for removing contaminants from water, air, and industrial processes, ensuring safety, health, and environmental protection. It enhances the quality of products, safeguards equipment, and reduces costs by preventing damage and inefficiencies. Additionally, filtration plays a vital role in sustainability by minimizing pollution and preserving natural resources. Simulating these processes on various scales from the filter medium to the full filter is key for next generation filtration solutions.
The break-out session starts with an in-depth overview of the newest feature of GeoDict to simulate adsorption-based processes as well as further novelties and improvements relevant to filtration applications, presented by Philipp Eichheimer from Math2Market. These novelties include simulation of adsorption using AddiDict, improvements for flow calculation employing sub-voxel resolution and new grid refinement methods taking local Reynolds numbers into account as well as various improvements in the usability especially in FilterDict.
In the second part of the break-out session the modelling of packed bed structures, which are used in carbon capture applications and combi filter media, are demonstrated live in GeoDict and is followed by a live step-by-step procedure for setting up an adsorption simulation and visualizing the results. This GeoDict live demonstration is presented by Jonas Schabernack from Math2Market.
Finally, the last part of the break-out session is dedicated to the filter scale. To demonstrate this, a live demonstration by Christopher Kühnle from Math2Market presents a digital workflow where various pleat structures, differing in pleat count, are virtually inserted into a filter housing. This workflow enables the digital testing of multiple filter geometries to identify the optimal pleat configuration, eliminating the need for time-intensive and costly physical prototypes.
To close the break-out session the current roadmap in the filtration business area is presented by Philipp Eichheimer followed by time for Q&A, discussion on the roadmap and future developments as well as networking with other scientists and engineers.
We warmly welcome all participants interested in digital prototyping of filtration applications on the media and filter scale using GeoDict.
