✦ Synopsis

A recombinant

derivative of Listeria monocytogenes engineered to express the luxAi3 genes of Vibrio harueyi has a bioluminescent phenotype that provides a rapid monitor of microbial viability. This phenotype was employed to follow bacterial attachment on to stainless steel surfaces, to monitor the growth of microcolonies upon these surfaces and to assess the resistance of the attached cells following biocide challenge.

Real-time bioluminescence measurements provided data equivalent to viable count determinations, and the organism was found to become more resistant to the biocide phenol upon attachment to stainless steel surfaces.

## Abstract The laminar liquid rivulet flow on an inclined flat metal plate and wavy metal plate is taken as a test case to validate the CFD‐simulation results using the VOF (Volume of Fluid) multiphase flow model. The local rivulet thickness was measured using an optically assisted mechanical sens
