✦ Synopsis

Biofilm processes are of interest to researchers in a variety of fields including bioremediation, oil recovery, wastewater treatment, ture, whether it is a heart valve, a flagellum, or an aggregate medicine, and dentistry. In this paper we describe how this complex, of cells, as a region in the fluid in which additional elastic dynamic, fluid-structure interaction can be modeled successfully forces are applied. The name of the method derives from using the immersed boundary method. The model presented here the fact that such structures are often modeled as thin includes the coupling of hydrodynamics; substrate reaction, diffusion, and convection; as well as the chemotactic response of swimprocesses.

We propose a fast, explicit numerical method for computing approximations for the immersed boundary problem in which the boundaries that separate the fluid into two regions are stiff. In the numerical computations of such problems, one frequently has to contend with numerical instability, as the sti
