Simulation of biofilm growth at a high nutrient concentration of 100 mg/L.
(A) Snapshots of biofilm development at different time points using the DORA algorithm. (B) Similar snapshots using the kd-tree approach. (C) Comparison the resolution time step at each iteration of the simulation for DORA (in green) and kd-tree (in magenta) against the experiment time. (D) Evolution of the overlap ratio over time when using the DORA algorithm.
