The porous media methodology is used to describe the filter bags and their surface ash layer seepage flow. On this basis, the discrete particle model (DPM), as implemented in Fluent software, is employed to simulate the dynamics of dust particles movement and deposition in a baghouse filter. The effects of dust particle size on evolving morphology of the cake on the filter bags are investigated, and the influence of additional resistance of the filter cake on subsequent ash particle deposition is explored. The results show that, when the duration of dust removal is sufficiently long, the cake thickness and pressure loss in the baghouse filter increase in a linear fashion over time. For a constant dust mass flow rate, the pressure loss becomes higher with smaller dust particles. The smaller ash particles are transported more effectively by the upward airflow to the top of the vertical filter bag, whereas the larger particles, due to their weight, tend to settle in the middle area. This results in significant differences in the distribution of cake thickness. In contrast to conventional algorithms that neglect cake resistance, the proposed model, which incorporates this resistance through advanced development in commercial software, predicts a more uniform distribution of dust thickness, which is more consistent with the actual situations. This conclusion can provide references for improving the operational efficiency of baghouse filters.
