NUFEB: A massively parallel simulator for individual-based modelling of microbial communities

Biofilm deformation and detachment at Uf = 0.2 m s−1.
(a) Time = 0; (b) Time = 0.0015s; (c) Time = 0.003s; (d) Time = 0.01s. The model simulates 4 × 104 particles. Particles crossing the domain boundary will be removed from the system. Particle colours are blue for heterotrophs and grey for EPS. CPU time is 8 hours with dual processors, and initial particle number is 41210.
