A Simple Mathematical Model to Predict the Pressure Drop for Transport of Deformable Particles in Homogeneous Porous Media by Víctor Matías-Pérez, Simón López-Ramírez, Elizbeth Franco-Urresti, Carlos G. Aguilar-Madera

“…The transport of deformable particles (TDPs) through porous media has been of considerable interest due to the multiple applications found in industrial and medical processes. The adequate design of these applications has been mainly achieved through experimental efforts, since TDPs through porous media are challenging to model because of the mechanical blockage of the pore throat due to size exclusion, deformation in order to pass through the pore throat under the driven pressure, and breakage under strong extrusion. …”
