Figure 1. Computer-generated model geometry<br />

to predict a priori the kinetic attachment and detachment<br />

rate coefficients, and represents the first steps in relating<br />

molecular-scale phenomena to the macroscopic scales that<br />

are typically considered in the laboratory and field. One<br />

publication is currently in preparation for these results.<br />

Two journal articles were published documenting the<br />

lattice Boltzmann algorithms developed at <strong>PNNL</strong> for<br />

thermal and multiphase flow simulation.<br />

Summary and Conclusions<br />

The parallelization and initial implementation of the<br />

adaptive mesh refinement capability has expanded the<br />

range of application of the lattice Boltzmann simulation<br />

method to systems with complex geometries. The<br />

development of porous media geometry generation<br />

capabilities and an effective reaction rate model for use as<br />

a boundary condition makes it possible to simulate<br />

microbial transport through porous media.<br />
