## Abstract Three hypothetical mechanisms of detachment were incorporated into a threeโdimensional computer model of biofilm development. The model integrated processes of substrate utilization, substrate diffusion, growth, cell advection, and detachment in a cellular automata framework. The purpos
## Abstract We present a twoโdimensional biofilm growth model in a continuum framework using an Eulerian description. A computational technique based on the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and the level set method is used to simulate the growth of the biofilm. The model considers fluid flow a
## Abstract In this work, a threeโdimensional model of fluidโstructure interactions (FSI) in biofilm systems is developed in order to simulate biofilm detachment as a result of mechanical processes. Therein, fluid flow past the biofilm surface results in a mechanical load on the structure which in
Dimensional analysis was applied for the description of biofilm detachment in liquid fluidized bed biological reactors. This technique allowed the identification of the significant parameters influencing detachment mechanisms and suggested suitable experiments for the characterization of involved ph
