From: Transition-state theory predicts clogging at the microscale
Experimental data showing detachment and displacement of an entire clog either to a new position downstream (a) or leading to complete declogging of the channel (b). Probability of the next clogging event occuring a distance Δx away, with x in units of channel number, for the repulsive (c) and attractive systems (d). Close-up brightfield microscopy image of a filtercake with overhang at the verge of blocking the neighboring channel (e).
