Physical stability and biological activity of biofilms under turbulent flow and low substrate concentration

The paper focuses on biofilms subject to turbulent flow and high liquid velocity (of the order of 1 m s ˉ¹) which can be found in heat exchangers, water distribution systems and in some wastewater reactors. An overall model describing biofilm development is presented, which includes the effects of b...
