Abstract: An original theoretical analysis of the dynamics of air scour from a fundamental and microscopic viewpoint is presented. Concepts in soil mechanics and porous media hydraulics are combined to explain the complex flow ...

Abstract: Considerable research on the process of filter backwashing with fluidization has been done during the last two decades, but there is little fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of particle detachment from filter ...

Abstract: A new filter backwashing strategy, extended terminal subfluidization wash (ETSW), aimed at reducing particle passage into the filtered water during the initial filter ripening sequence immediately following backwashing has ...
