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…
