Abstract

This research work was carried out to monitor the rate of dispersion and porosity influences on Flexibacter in the study location. The study was to monitor the behaviour of the contaminant under the pressure from fluctuation of porosity reflecting on dispersion rate in fine and silty sand formation. Variation of Flexibacter were expressed in various condition through theoretical values from the simulation, the developed model generated concentration from various phase of the transport system reflecting variation pressure from porosity mostly in silty formation, such condition were observed from the level of concentration in various phase from the simulation values, application of mathematical modelling method were to ensure that the behaviour of the microbes are thoroughly captured in the study location, experimental values were compared with the theoretical values for model validation, the study is imperative because experts will definitely examined the effect from fluctuated porosity reflecting on dispersion on the concentration of Flexibacter in the study location.
