Figure 5.
Motion modes of collective cells confined in a circular domain. The rotational order parameter ϕrotate and the vortex number Nvortex vary with the diameter D. Data are mean ± SD. The inset images show the velocity field of two typical modes: global rotation and local swirling. Parameter values: μa = 0.05 and μc = 1.0. To see this figure in color, go online.
