Numerical Analysis of Bioconvection Generated by Chemotactic Bacteria

Numerical simulations were carried out modeling the bioconvection generated by chemotactic bacteria in a shallow chamber, and the influence of the Rayleigh number on bioconvection was examined. To confirm the present numerical accuracy, the numerical result was compared with a previous analytical so...
