From: Emergence of synchronised rotations in dense active matter with disorder

The results are shown for 60 x 60 box size and obtained for periodic boundary conditions. In each panel (a), (b), and (c), the parameters—except the parameter along the Y-axis—are the same as those in Table 1. Panel a indicates that obstacle density dominates shot noise since there is no relevant change in the behaviour over much of the region of the shot noise values. Panel b shows the trade between the particle and obstacle densities. It shows that a dense medium is needed to see synchronised rotation. Panel c resembles panel (b) since the alignment radius is related to an effective particle density.
