Microbial Transport Simulator

Microbial Transport Simulator: The microbial transport simulator (MTS) is a three-dimensional, three-phase, multiple-component numerical model that permits the study of the transport of microorganisms and nutrients in porous media. Microbial parameters incorporated into MTS include: microbial growth and decay, microbial deposition, chemotaxis, diffusion, convective dispersion, tumbling, and nutrient consumption. Governing equations for microbial and nutrient transport are coupled with continuity and flow equations under conditions appropriate for a black oil reservoir. The model's mathematical formulations and preparation procedures of data files for conducting simulations using MTS are described in the electronic manual. Min. Req.: IBM PC/AT, PS-2, or compatible computer with 640 Kbytes of memory. Math coprocessor optional.
