Osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO) has been recently suggested as an alternative to improve water recovery of reverse osmosis (RO) for applications in which RO has reached its limit. To elucidate the physics, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology is developed that describes all i...
