Biased swimming cells do not disperse in pipes as tracers: A population model based on microscale behaviour

There is much current interest in modelling suspensions of algae and other micro-organisms for biotechnological exploitation, and many bioreactors are of tubular design. Using generalized Taylor dispersion theory, we develop a population-level swimming-advection-diffusion model for suspensions of mi...
