Table 1.

Parameter values for the model. Here, tw represents parameters estimated in this work. The dimensionless values of the diffusion and chemotactic coefficients (marked with asterisks) are those along the x-axis. The corresponding values along the y-axis are obtained by multiplying these terms by (Lx/Ly)2.
