  • Title: Flow characteristics of red cell containing fluids through pores. The effect of filter plugging, a mathematical model.
    Author: Crawford RG, Moss RD, Gruemer HD.
    Journal: Biorheology; 1987; 24(1):63-76. PubMed ID: 3651583.
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model was developed that describes the effects of filter plugging on flow through 3 micron pore polycarbonate filters as a function of time, pressure, and cell concentration, both under stirring and nonstirring conditions. The mathematical constants for the model were derived from experimental data generated with a filtration apparatus, and were tested by using various concentrations of cells that are able to plug filter pores. A computer simulation program was written to test the model over a wide range of nonfilterable cell concentrations.
