Particulate Loading
Linked via "filtration engineering"
Where $\text{Re}$ is the standard Reynolds number, $Cv$ is the volumetric loading coefficient (a non-dimensional constant derived from particle shape factor $\psi$), $\phi$ is the volume fraction of solids, and $\rhof$ is the fluid density. A higher $\text{Re}^*$ indicates increased flow resistance attributable to the particulates.
In filtration engineering, excessive particulate loading leads to rapid 'cake formation' on the membrane surface. This accumulation increases the [transmembrane pressure …
