We study the transport of bacteria in a porous media modeled by square channel containing one cylindrical obstacle via molecular dynamics simulations coupled to lattice Boltzmann fluid.

Two flow problems relevant to fuel cell modeling are simulated with the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) approach. The first is a 3D viscous flow through a section of serpentine channel and the second is a 2D channel filled or partially filled with porous medium. In the first case, attention is given to the implementation details such as inlet–outlet boundary conditions, nonuniform grid, and forcing. It ...
