Abstract
We extend a regularization based numerical method for a highly degenerate partial differential equation that describes biofilm growth to systems of PDEs describing biofilms with several particulate substances. The example for which we develop the method is a quorum sensing biofilm which consists of down- and up-regulated biomass fractions. We carry out computational studies to assess the effect of the regularization parameter, a grid refinement study and report briefly on parallel performance of our code under OpenMP on desktop workstations.
