Simulation of biofilm growth at an intermediate nutrient concentration of 10 mg/L.
(A) and (B) Biofilm development using DORA and kd-tree approaches, respectively, at various time points. (C) Comparison of the time required for overlap resolution in each iteration of the simulation between DORA (green) and kd-tree (magenta). (D) Evolution of the overlap ratio using DORA over the simulation duration.
