A 2D channel-clogging biofilm model.
We present a model of biofilm growth in a long channel where the biomass is assumed to have the rheology of a viscous polymer solution. We examine the competition between growth and erosion-like surface detachment due to the flow. A particular focus of our investigation is the effect of the biofilm growth on the fluid flow in the pores, and the issue of whether biomass can grow sufficiently to ...
متن کاملReverse Shapes in First-Passage Percolation and Related Growth Models
Over the past 40 years, it has been observed that many of the simplest random and deterministic local growth dynamics expand at a linear rate in each radial direction, and attain an asymptotic geometry. Shape theorems to this effect have been proved in several instances. In a similar manner, initially very large holes within supercritical local dynamics may be expected to attain a characteristi...
متن کاملBiofilm morphology as related to the porous media clogging.
Aquifer recharge for the wastewater reuse has been considered and studied as a promising process to cope with the worldwide water scarcity. Soil clogging by an excessive growth of bacteria is often accompanied with the aquifer recharge. In this study, biofilm morphology and hydraulic conductivity were concurrently characterized at two flow rates and two levels of substrate concentrations. The e...
متن کاملTundish Nozzle Clogging – Application of Computational Models
Clogging of the tundish nozzle is a major castability problem in continuous casting of steel for several reasons. Firstly, clogging increases the frequency of operation disruptions to change nozzles or tundishes or even to stop casting. These extra transitions increase operating cost, decrease productivity, and lower quality. Secondly, clogging can lead directly to a variety of quality problems...
متن کاملSelf-destructive percolation, invasion percolation and related models
This thesis concerns itself with three different stochastic models: the selfdestructive percoaltion model, the invasion percolation model and a stochastic dynamic for the incipient infinite cluster model. These models are all defined on a graph in the plane denoted by Z, which is obtained by taking the points of R with integer coordinates as vertices and two vertices are connected with an edge ...
