Simulation of biofilm growth at a low nutrient concentration of 1 mg/L.
(A) and (B) Depiction of the progression of biofilm formation using the DORA and kd-tree methods, respectively. (C) Comparison of the time required of each algorithm in resolving overlaps during each simulation iteration, with DORA shown in green and kd-tree in magenta. (D) Overlap ratio evolution during the simulation with DORA.
