摘要
Dueck's mathematical model of biofilm is discussed. This model is also generalized to cover all substratum types. This system is based on a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation that includes a nonlinear term related to square law of microbial death rate. In this paper, the analytical expression of the substrate consumption and flux in a biofilm is obtained by solving the nonlinear differential equation using the Taylor series and the modified Adomian decomposition method. Comparing the results obtained with the numerical method and limiting case results shows the validity and usefulness of these techniques.
