BIOMASS GROWTH IN UNSATURATED POROUS MEDIA: HYDRAULIC PROPERTIES CHANGES

We present a model to describe the biomass growth process taking place in an unsaturated porous medium during a bioremediation process. We focus on the so-called column experiment. At the initial time biomass and polluted water is inoculated in the column. The subsequent changes of hydraulic properties are analyzed. We also show some preliminary simulations.
