A Lagrangian multi-scale particle model based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) was used to simulate pore-scale flow, reactive transport and biomass growth in fractured porous media. The biomass growth was controlled by double Monod kinetics. The deformation and attachment and detachment of biomass was modeled through a combination of pair-wise short range repulsive and medium range attractive forces and hydrodynamics forces resulting from the fluid flow.
