The combined effects of shear stress and mass transfer on the balance between biofilm and suspended cell dynamics
This work investigates the effect of shear stress and mass transfer on the development of biofilms in a flow cell that mimics industrial piping. The shear stress and maximum flow velocity were estimated by computational fluid dynamics and the external mass transfer coefficient was calculated using e...
