Biofilms
Study results from University of Cambridge, Department of Chemical Engineering broaden understanding of biofilms
Published in Drug Week, June 22nd, 2007
New research, "Modelling biofilm-modified hydrodynamics in 3D," is the subject of a report. According to recent research published in the journal Water Science and Technology, "A simulation-based study to predict the impact of biofilm growth on displacement distributions for flow of water through a supporting packed bed is presented. The lattice Boltzmann method and a directed random walk algorithm are used, and are applied to the system with and without biofilm being present."
"The aim of this simulation study is to model the anomalous transport dynamics induced by biofilm, as reported in the literature, and thus to study the impact of observation time, delta,...
