The use of microelectrodes in biofilm research allows a better understanding of intrinsic biofilm processes. Little is known about mass transfer and substrate utilization in the boundary layer of biofilm systems. One possible description of mass transfer can be obtained by mass transfer coefficients, both on the basis of the stagnant film theory or with the Sherwood number. This approach is rather formal and not quite correct when the heterogeneity of the biofilm surface structure is taken into account. It could be shown that substrate loading is a major factor in the description of the development of the density. On the other hand, the time axis is an important factor which has to be considered when concentration profiles in biofilm systems are discussed. Finally, hydrodynamic conditions become important for the development of the biofilm surface when the Reynolds number increases above the range of 3000-4000.

It is mentioned in the paper that hydrodynamic conditions of a flow in blood vessels with the stenosis are abnormal in relation to the total hemodynamic conditions of blood flow in a vascular system of a human body. A microfluidic device developed with a stepped narrowing for studying of the blood flow at abnormal conditions allowed to reveal blood structure in microchannels simulating the stenosis. Microstructure change is observed during the flow of both native and diluted blood through the narrowing. The study of hemorheological properties allowed us to determine an increasing contribution of the hydraulic resistance of the healthy part of the vessel during the stenosis formation.

The resting stages of phytoplankton are usually regarded as the seed bank and source of harmful algal blooms because of the recruitment of phytoplankton from sediment to the water column under suitable environmental conditions. Information about resting stages of phytoplankton is abundant in shallow lakes and littoral sea; yet, studies on river–reservoir systems are rare. The river–reservoir continuum shows a unique structuring of longitudinal gradients of hydrological and hydrodynamic conditions. We hypothesized that the seed bank and algal blooms in reservoirs are influenced by the hydrodynamic conditions of each reservoir. We used Illumina Miseq sequencing to examine the spatio-temporal variation in the phytoplankton community in the sediment as reservoir drawdown and in surface water during algal blooms in Pengxi River, a tributary of China’s Three Gorges Reservoir. The results show that the cyanobacteria community in sediment is significantly influenced by temperature, total carbon, maximum flow velocity, and total phosphorous, the eukaryotic phytoplankton community in sediment is significantly influenced by total phosphorous, temperature, total carbon, maximum flow velocity, and total nitrogen. Additionally, the dominant species in sediment is significantly different from that in surface water during algal blooms. Our results suggest that the dominant species in surface water during algal blooms is more influenced by the environmental factors and hydrodynamic conditions in the water column than the seeds in the sediment. These findings are fundamental for further research on the influence of hydrodynamic conditions on algal blooms in artificially regulated river-reservoir systems.
