The Fluidization Backwash Method of Filter Beds by Air-water Bubbly Flow

A novel fluidization backwash method by the air-water bubbly flow with air bubbles of various sizes has been proposed for rapid filters. The backwash efficiency is closely related to the bubble wake motion. Bubble coalescence, bed contraction and jet generation caused by t...
