Abstract:
The goal of the Filter Constrictions Team was to test the hypothesis that particles are captured preferentially at flow restrictions in sand filters. There was evidence for this from work done by the Milli-Sedimentation Team and the Stacked Rapid Sand (StaRS) Filter Theory Team. The goal of the team was to create a flow constriction in a 0.5 mm channel in a flow cell reactor, and take a video of the particles at the constriction. The video was taken using Point Grey FlyCapture Software, and provided evidence about the hypothesis that flow constrictions serve as particle collection sites.
