摘要
We perform mathematical analysis of the biofilm development process. A model describing biomass growth is proposed: It arises from coupling three parabolic nonlinear equations: a biomass equation with degenerate and singular diffusion, a nutrient transport equation with a biomass-density dependent diffusion, and an equation of the Navier-Stokes type, describing the fluid flow in which the biofilm develops. This flow is subject to a biomass' density-dependent obstacle. The model is treated as a system of three inclusions, or variational inequalities; the equation of the Navier-Stokes type causes major difficulties for the system's solvability. Our approach is based on the recent development of the theory on Navier-Stokes variational inequalities. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
