Numerical simulation of the fluid flow and poroelastic deformation in round pleated filter cartridges

Pleated filters are widely used in various filter application. Simulation of filtration processes helps designers and manufacturers of filter elements to shorten the design time and to improve designs. In certain cases the deflection of the filtering media can not be neglected. In order to numerically solve this Fluid-Porous Structure Interaction, FPSI, problem we develop an efficient framework using advanced modelling and discretization techniques.
