  • Visualization and characterization of biofilm spatial distribution in porous media using x-ray computed microtomography

    Creator:
    Iltis, Gabriel C.
    Abstract:
    This work focuses primarily the development of methods for imaging microbial biofilms in opaque porous media using x-ray computed microtomography (CT). Two methods for evaluating biofilms in porous media are presented. The first focuses on the addition of silver-coated, hollow glass microspheres to a biofilm-containing micro-model. The silver-coated microspheres affix...

  • Experimental and theoretical analysis of radial porosity in a monodisperse sphere packing

    Creator:
    Nakamoto, Nathan
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an experimental study of radial porosity in a manually filled cylindrical container with glass spheres. The symmetric distribution of bead diameter allowed for normalization of container properties and porosity models. The aspect ratio of the container was approximately 3.9, with tube-to-particle-diameter ratio λ ≈ 24.6 and height-to-particle-diameter...

  • Problems of Shape and Information in Multiscale Modeling of Transport Phenomena

    Creator:
    Ostvar, Sassan
    Abstract:
    This work is a compilation of problems that deal with multiscale analysis of transport phenomena in environmental systems. A common feature among the problems studied here is the presence of non-negligible microscale structure in various forms. Each problem is approached from the perspective that a macroscopic observable encodes aspects of...
