Influence of Fractal Disc Filter Flow Channel Parameters on Filtration Performance

Abstract

The research and development of a new disc filter is a key link in intelligent irrigation systems, the core of efficient and water-saving irrigation development, and also an important joint effort to ensure a clean water source in micro-irrigation systems. In this paper, the independent research and development of the fractal flow passage disc filter was taken as the research object, and the disc filter numerical simulation cell (FLUENT) and artificial intelligence technology (Back Propagation Neural Network) were combined to optimize the filter flow channel parameters, including the tilt angle, the length and height of the bottom of the internal section triangle, the taper, the position and number of buffer slots, etc. A new type of disc filter with lower head loss, larger flow capacity, higher filtration efficiency, and longer running time is proposed. It has certain reference value and promotion significance for the future development and design of high-performance disc filters and their wide use.
