Bacterial Biofilm Growth Dynamical Modeling and Numerical Simulation Based on Binary Phase Field Theory
Bacteria biofilms are ubiquitous in nature and industrial environment,the research on biofilms has been received extensive attention by scholars all over the world.In this paper,the bacteria biofilm is considered to be composed of two-component incompressible viscous fluid,and combined with the binary phase field theory,material continuous equation,momentum conservation equation,the solute field control equation and biological reaction dynamics equation to build bacterial biofilm growth dynamics model.Based on the numerical simulation of the model,we can describe the growth of bacteria in the static and dynamic environment and the consumption patterns of nutrient.
