Various biological system models have been proposed in systems biology, which are based on the complex biological reactions kinetic of various components. These models are not practical because we lack of kinetic information. In this paper, it is found that the enzymatic reaction and multi-order reaction rate is often controlled by the transport of the reactants in biological systems. A Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) approach, which is based on transport of the components and kinetics of biological reactions, is introduced for biological system modeling. We apply this approach to a biological wastewater treatment system for the study of metabolism of organic carbon substrates and the population of microbial. The results show that CFD model coupled with reaction kinetics is more accurate and more feasible than kinetic models for biological system modeling.
