Multi-Scale Bioreactor

OVERVIEW

Integrating agent-based modeling with computational fluid dynamics to predict biomass outcomes in bioreactors to form a generally applicable computational pipeline. We apply this pipeline to stirred tank bioreactors and recapitulate the biomass production as a function of impeller speed presented in the literature. We also apply this pipeline to model the behavior of cells that are seeded in an IBIDI flow chamber, a controlled system that will generate crucial experimental data for the development of models of cell behavior under shear stresses induced by fluids.
