Figure 8.

Current configuration of an unloaded grown sphere with initial radius of 100 μm. The sphere is azimuthally cut at the final time. The parameters in the simulation are: τ = 2.5 days, κ = 33.35, α = 37, λ = 2.5 mm, μ = 27.0kPa and p_D = 5.0kPa. The domain of the numerical simulation is a quarter of a sphere. For the sake of graphical clarity of the opening angle, the spherical wedge is combined with its symmetric counterpart. The body is unloaded but not stress free: the color map represents the trace of the Cauchv stress tensor. The lowest part of the cut is partially resew by the swelling.
