Fundamental Diagram 2

Act cells moving in channels with a chemokine gradient similar to that in the evacuation scenario; but now there is no bottleneck exit. Note that there is no notable slowing of cells even in the lowest (fullest) channel. To pause, click "start/stop". To start over, refresh the page. The page may take some time to load when first opened.

Try varying the sensitivity to the gradient by adapting λch, or adjusting the Act-CPM parameters λact and maxact.

Suggestion: change λch to 0. You should see cells going in both directions as they no longer sense the gradient. Now change λch to 50. Not only do all cells follow the gradient, they also move faster because of the extra chemotactic "force".
