Three-dimensional analytical models for virus Three-dimensional analytical models for virus Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-09-181998enAnalytical models for virus transport in saturated, homogeneous porous media are developed. The models account for three-dimensional dispersion in a uniform flow field, and first-order inactivation of suspended and deposited viruses with different inactivation rate coefficients. Virus deposition onto solid particles is described by two different processes: nonequilibrium adsorption which is applicable to viruses behaving as solutes; and colloid filtration which is applicable to viruses behaving as colloids. The governing virus transport equations are solved analytically by employing Laplace/Fourier transform techniques. Instantaneous and continuous/periodic virus loadings from a point source are examined.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Transport in Porous Media30187-102A22-TiPM-98.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2015-09-18application/pdf329.2 kBfree Chrysikopoulos Constantinos Χρυσικοπουλος Κωνσταντινος Youn Sim Comparison with Experimental Data Model Simulations and Discussion Model Development
