    Abstract
    The present study examined the effect of nanoparticle size and geometry on filter cake buildup during dynamic filtration using experimental and modeling approaches. A dynamic filtration setup was proposed and designed to test cross-flow circulation against a synthetic core at a constant differential pressure. The proposed mathematical model considers the critical deposition boundary of the porous media for particles along with drag, lift, friction, buoyancy, permeate, and electrostatic forces. The comprehensive model response allowed investigation of the aggregation and shape of nanoparticles at different cross-flow inclinations. The drag and lift force coefficients and moment of inertia of...
