## Abstract A two‐dimensional finite element model of the biofilm response to flow was developed. The numerical code sequentially coupled the fluid dynamics of turbulent, incompressible flow with the mechanical response of a single hemispherical biofilm cluster (∼100 µm) attached to the flow bounda

A biofilm is assumed to be submerged in a fluid with given viscosity and low Reynolds number. The interaction between fluid and bacteria is modeled through streamlines. We use finite-difference and boundary element numerical schemes to predict streamlines within the biofilm. The results show that th
