Upscaling diffusion through first-order volumetric sinks: a homogenization of bacterial nutrient uptake

In mathematical models that include nutrient delivery to bacteria, it is prohibitively expensive to include a pointwise nutrient uptake within small bacterial regions over bioreactor length-scales, and so such models often impose an effective uptake instead. In this paper, we systematically investig...
