We model filters as two-dimensional networks of channels. As a suspension (fluid with particles) flows through the filter, particles clog channels. We assume that there is no flow through clogged channels. In this paper, we compute a sharp upper bound on the number of channels that can clog before fluid can no longer flow through the filter.
