Abstract We develop a model for simulating the growth of a biofilm in a tortuous tube. The solutions to the Navier‐Stokes equations and the advection‐diffusion equation are calculated numerically using finite differences. These solutions are then coupled with a biofilm growth model. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
