Experiments were carried out by using batch floating drum type digester without mixing and temperature setting. The retention time was 30 days. Numerical results based on Monod type model with influence of temperature is introduced. Initial value problems were analyzed numerically, while kinetic parameters were analyzed by using trial error methods. The numerical results for the first five days seems appropriate in comparison with the experimental outcomes. However, numerical results shows that the model is inappropriate for 30 days of fermentation. This leads to the conclusion that Monod type model is not suitable for describe the mixture degradation of fruit and vegetable waste and horse dung. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WardhaniPuteri Kusuma en-aut-sei=Wardhani en-aut-mei=Puteri Kusuma kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeMasaji en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Masaji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Anaerobic digestion kn-keyword=Anaerobic digestion en-keyword=monod model kn-keyword=monod model en-keyword=numerical simulation kn-keyword=numerical simulation END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=1707 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=050013 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2016 dt-pub=2016 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Mathematical Formulation and Numerical Simulation of Bird Flu Infection Process within a Poultry Farm en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= Bird flu infection processes within a poultry farm are formulated mathematically. A spatial effect is taken into account for the virus concentration with a diffusive term. An infection process is represented in terms of a traveling wave solutions. For a small removal rate, a singular perturbation analysis lead to existence of traveling wave solutions, that correspond to progressive infection in one direction. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=PutriArrival Rince en-aut-sei=Putri en-aut-mei=Arrival Rince kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NovaTertia Delia en-aut-sei=Nova en-aut-mei=Tertia Delia kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeMasaji en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Masaji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Andalas University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Graduate School Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=bird flu kn-keyword=bird flu en-keyword=spatial effect kn-keyword=spatial effect en-keyword=traveling wave solutions kn-keyword=traveling wave solutions en-keyword=singular perturbation kn-keyword=singular perturbation END
