The model includes water flux inside the biofilm, different biofilm components, and shear stress on the biofilm-water interface. To solve the resulting highly coupled system of model equations, we propose a splitting algorithm. The Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method is used to track the biofilm-water interface. Numerical simulations are performed using physical parameters from the existing literature. Our computations show the effect of biofilm permeability on the nutrient transport and on its growth. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/27606 | ISBN: | 9783319964140 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-319-96415-7_75 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
