Chemoeffectors decrease the deposition of chemotactic bacteria during transport in porous media.
Bacterial chemotaxis enables motile cells to move along chemical gradients and to swim toward optimal places for biodegradation. However, its potentially positive effects on subsurface remediation rely on the efficiency of bacterial movement in porous media, which is often restricted by high deposition rates and adhesion to soil surfaces. In well-controlled column systems, we assessed the influ...
متن کاملAbsolute Permeability Calculation by Direct Numerical Simulation in Porous Media
Simulating fluid flow at micro level is an ongoing problem. Simplified macroscopic flow models like Darcy’s law is unable to estimate fluid dynamic properties of porous media. The digital sample reconstruction by high resolution X-ray computed tomography scanning and fluid-dynamics simulation, together with the increasing power of super-computers, allow to carry out pore-scale simulations throu...
متن کاملA Porous Media Model for Blood Flow within Reticulated Foam.
A porous media model is developed for non-Newtonian blood flow through reticulated foam at Reynolds numbers ranging from 10-8 to 10. This empirical model effectively divides the pressure gradient versus flow speed curve into three regimes, in which either the non-Newtonian viscous forces, the Newtonian viscous forces, or the inertial fluid forces are most prevalent. When compared to simulation ...

Experimental Results Applications for flow in porous media include: • Groundwater pollution • Fracking and flow in fracture networks • Contaminant transport Key challenges: • High uncertainty in physical data • Monte Carlo framework with multiple realizations to approximate uncertainty • Full physics simulations in Monte Carlo framework is too expensive for practical problems Project aims • Mac...
متن کاملNonconforming in Time Domain Decomposition Method for Porous Media Applications
Abstract. We design a Schwarz waveform relaxation algorithm for solving advectiondi usion-reaction problems in heterogeneous media. The non-overlapping domain decomposition method is global in time and thus allows the use of di erent time steps in di erent subdomains. We use a discontinuous Galerkin method in time as a subdomain solver in order to have optimal error estimates and local time ste...
