Mathematical Modeling, Laboratory Experiments, and Sensitivity Analysis of Bioplug Technology at Darcy Scale
David Landa-Marbán, Gunhild Bødtker, Bartek Florczyk Vik +4
In this paper we study a Darcy-scale mathematical model for biofilm formation in porous media. The pores in the core are divided into three phases: water, oil, and biofilm. The wat…
An upscaled model for permeable biofilm in a thin channel and tube
David Landa-Marbán, Gunhild Bødtker, Kundan Kumar +2
In this paper, we derive upscaled equations for modelling biofilm growth in porous media. The resulting macro-scale mathematical models consider permeable multi-species biofilm inc…
A pore-scale model for permeable biofilm: numerical simulations and laboratory experiments
David Landa-Marbán, Na Liu, Iuliu Sorin Pop +5
In this paper we derive a pore-scale model for permeable biofilm formation in a two-dimensional pore. The pore is divided in two phases: water and biofilm. The biofilm is assumed t…
Microfluidic study of effects of flow velocity and nutrient concentration on biofilm accumulation and adhesive strength in a microchannel
Na Liu, Tormod Skauge, David Landa-Marban +6
Biofilm accumulation in the porous media can cause plugging and change many physical properties of porous media. Targeted bioplugging may have significant applications for industri…
