The filtration of aerosol particles using composites of nano- and microsized fibrous structures is a promising method for the effective separation of nanoparticles from gases. A multi-scale physical system describing the flow pattern and particle deposition at a non-steady-state condition requires an advanced method of modelling. The combination of lattice Boltzmann and Brownian dynamics was us...

NOVEMBER 2005 P ositioned at various stages during bioprocessing, depth filters are used as prefilters that clarify fluid streams to protect, prolong the life, and increase the efficiency of final (sterilizing) filters, chromatography columns, and other separation technologies. Depth filters are particularly well-suited for use in prefiltration during bioprocessing, removing large contaminants ...

Rendering the interaction between light and microscopic particles in a scene, such as smoke or floating dust, has traditionally been a computationally intensive and difficult process. To produce an accurate rendering requires simulation, or reasonably accurate approximation, of how the light interacts with these particles on a fine level of detail. Specifically, when light enters an area of som...

The problem of plastic and microplastic (MP, <5 mm in size) pollution has received widespread attention globally, with its presence being reported various environmental media. However, a lack standard sampling analysis methods is making it difficult to compare data across studies understand the source fate plastics MPs. Common strategies used MP natural waters include Manta net pump filterin...
