Influence of bio-filter configurations on hydraulic aspects while enhancing the sustainable self-purification of agricultural drainage water by Raid Alrowais, Raid Alrowais, Ashraf Jatwary, Marcela Bindzarova Gergelova, Mohammad Akrami, Bandar Alwushayh, Elsayed Elkamhawy, Elsayed Elkamhawy

“…Altering the shape of bio-filter inlet is predicted to significantly influence heading-up values, with triangular shapes showing the lowest heading-up values compared to basic, rounded, or sloped upstream U.S face shapes. Relative heading-up values will increase by 10.32%, 10.44%, 24.67%, and 31.86% when changing the bio-filter inlet shape from triangular to sloped U.S. face with respect to horizontal and vertical direction, rounded, and basic bio-filter, respectively. …”
