The modelling time is developing a mathematical model which describes the growth of biofilms. Furthermore we are researching how strong the biofilm is, how fast it grows and other parameters needed fot the model.

In the literature we found models that described biofilms in by a so called differential discrete cellular automaton approach. This means that we are using both discrete and continous models to determine what is happening in our biofim.

The approach we are taking now mainly based on articles from C.Picioreanu, M.C.M. van Loosdrecht and J.J. Heijnen. The most useful articles we found are:
