Abstract

We propose a model for the filtration of suspended particles in porous media and we examine some of its mathematical properties. The model includes a variable porosity that depends on the volume of particles retained through filtration and a kinetics law that allows both a positive and negative rate of particle accretion. We characterize the properties of accretion rates that lead to contamination and remediation wave fronts in the model.
