Biofilm viscoelasticity and nutrient source location control biofilm growth rate, migration rate, and morphology in shear flow

We present a numerical model to simulate the growth and deformation of a viscoelastic biofilm in shear flow under different nutrient conditions. The mechanical interaction between the biofilm and the fluid is computed using the Immersed Boundary Method with viscoelastic parameters determined a prior...
