Modeling of Microbial Motion in a Fractal Porous Media
Abstract
The evolution of genetic information between disparate species of microbes can play an important role in many environmental and medical problems. Efforts to model this phenomenon on scales ranging from the micron to the field are underway. One aspect of this work has been the development of an upscaled equation for a microbe swimming in a fractal porous media, where the fractal dimension at the various scales is computed. CLT's for heavy tailed sticky stochastic processes are employed in this process. Current results on the modeling effort will be presented.
