Abstract
A computer simulation program for the build-up of a dust filter cake h as been developed. The dynamics of the compression behaviour inside th e cake can be simulated with this program. The simulation reveals a co rrelation between interparticulate forces and the resulting pressure d rop in the cake. The simulation results demonstrate theoretically the internal structure of a filter cake, and give an explanation for the l ayered structure of the filter cake as revealed by previous experiment al investigations.
