Figure 2. Quantities used in the model formulation.

(A) The distance
separates the position of the focal fish
from its current point of impact on the wall;
is the angle between the heading of fish
and the angular position of this point of impact with respect to the center of the tank. Neighboring fish
is at distance
from fish
;
is the angle between the angular position of fish
with respect to fish
and the heading of fish
. The relative heading of fish
compared to the focal fish
is
. (B) Illustration of a Voronoi neighborhood. Fish headings are indicated by arrows. The focal fish is under the influence of its five neighbors in the Voronoi tessellation (dotted lines), one of which is near the tank wall.
