Abstract:
Biofilm growth and development are influenced by hydrodynamic conditions and the availability of nutrients. Therefore, for the purpose of understanding biofilm macro-scale dynamic, it is essential to adopt a modeling approach, which takes into account all the relevant aspects, like fluid flow, structure deformation, mass transport and their effect on biofilm growth and erosion. In this paper, we propose a novel growth model based on a finite element approach for the numerical simulation of...     »
