Velocity and bacterial concentration as a function of depth in a parallel plate flow chamber. Convection and diffusion contribute to the maintenance of a high microbial concentration near a substratum surface in flow displacement systems, whereas in stagnant systems mass transport solely relies on diffusion. Convection in a flow displacement system contributes to the development of a stable concentration despite bacterial removal from the suspension through adhesion.
