Illustration of the model. In the model, each cell performs a random walk. The step length does not vary, but the time between changes in direction is determined by the local environment. The persistence time is given by (2.5). In addition to diffusive motion with random orientation, cells interact with a radial contact force given by (2.2) which ensures that cells are evenly spaced.
