A closed macroscopic model for quasi-steady, inertial, incompressible, two-phase generalised Newtonian flow in rigid and homogeneous porous media is formally derived. The consists of equations mass momentum balance as well an expression the pressure difference between two fluid phases. obtained by upscaling pore-scale equations, employing a methodology based on volume averaging, adjoint method Green's formulation, only assuming existence representative elementary separation scales microscale...
Fungal pellets are hierarchical systems that can be found in an ample variety of applications. Modeling transport phenomena this type is a challenging but necessary task to provide knowledge-based processes improve the outcome their biotechnological In work, upscaled model for total mass and momentum fungal implemented analyzed, using elements volume averaging adjoint homogenization methods departing from governing equations at microscale intracellular extracellular phases. The biomass...
Airborne chemical species transport and adsorption in the crown of trees are relevant processes with many crucial environmental consequences. This multiphase multiscale process requires incorporation momentum both air solid phases composing biomass (leaves branches) coupling mass transport. In this work, an upscaled model for tree crowns is derived using method volume averaging. The comprises four effective-medium equations, namely: macroscopic balance equation air, which has a Darcy-like...
Membrane bioreactors represent an attractive alternative for food industries wastewater treatment. This type of reactors comprise aerobic tank (where the biochemical reactions take place) and a membrane final filtration process occurs). Mathematical modeling these systems is practical tool design, control optimization treatment plants. Among approaches, there no mathematical model that specifically designed bioreactors, captures hierarchical nature systems. In present work, new models mass...
