Biofilms are very important in controlling pollution in aquifers. The bacteria may either consume the contaminant or form biobarriers to limit its spread. In this paper we review the mathematical modeling of biofilm growth at the microscopic and macroscopic scales, together with a scale-up technique

We model fluid-fluid displacement in d=2 by a diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) algorithm which takes interpore surface tension and capillary forces into account. The invading fluid is non-viscous. Cooperative effects are important when the ratio between capillary forces and tension forces q is ~
Finite element methods are used to solve a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations, which models incompressible miscible displacement in porous media. Through a backward finite difference discretization in time, we define a sequentially implicit time-stepping algorithm that uncoup
