## Abstract The influence of bacterial biomass on hydraulic properties of porous media (bioclogging) has been explored as a viable means for optimizing subsurface bioremediation and microbial enhanced oil recovery. In this study, we present a pore network simulator for modeling biofilm evolution in

A pore-scale numerical model based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is described for modelling #uid #ow phenomena in porous media. Originally developed for astrophysics applications, SPH is extended to model incompressible #ows of low Reynolds number as encountered in groundwater #ow systems
## Abstract For many years, controversy has surrounded the use of biofilm models to describe the distribution of microbial biomass in natural or artificial porous media. This use is often advocated on the basis of the relative mathematical simplicity of the biofilm concept, and of the widespread av
