“…In this context, the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique provides information and new models for the application of membranes and contributes to the understanding of the filtration mechanisms [ 43 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. The computational fluid dynamics enables the understanding and development of new membrane separation processes, allowing researchers to study, in detail, phenomena such as fouling, concentration polarization, and pore-clogging, responsible for reducing the filtration rate and favoring contamination of the permeate.…”
