| Research Abstract |
We had developed a numerical model of microorganisms, red blood cells and cancer cells by 2008. We also tried to model biological reaction of cells. In 2009, we utilized these models and computed many body interactions of cells in a suspension. Then we compiled a database for the stress field, diffusion tensor under various conditions. We also developed a mathematical model of these tensor values under simplified conditions. Besides, we develop a numerical model to solve population of bacteria in the human intestine by combining the cellular level models and the macroscopic models. We established a base for the multi-scale and multi-physics simulation for the microbial flora in the intestine.
