Mathematical modelling of flow and nutrient transport in hollow fibre membrane bioreactors

Abstract:

Hollow fibre membrane bioreactors comprise permeable tubes situated within a bioreactor chamber. Nutrients and growth factors flow through the fibre lumen, transporting across the porous membrane to external cells, while external flow removes residual nutrients and cellular waste. Given cellular sensitivity to their local microenvironment, mathematical modelling can be used to predict and optimise bioreactor performance.

In this thesis, we develop a series of continuum models descr...
