Abstract
In this paper, a conventional mesh shim for a spiral wound membrane assembly is structurally optimized by adding jet holes to achieve the jet function, and the effect of curvature on fluid flow is investigated. The three different gaskets are compared with each other and the performance of the optimized gaskets is investigated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques and analyzed parametrically. This knowledge can be supplemented by the use of CFD techniques for spacers, whereby the geometry of the spacer can be optimized and the corresponding performance of the spiral wound film assembly can be improved.
