Fig. 10: Modulation of cellular activity results in active force fluctuations.
From: Mitigating density fluctuations in particle-based active nematic simulations
The temporally averaged active force input into the system, Fα, is computed for each formulation of cellular activity and normalized with the active force input at average density \({F}_{\alpha }^{H}\). While the active force from particle-carried activity remains constant, all other methods exhibit some degree of active force fluctuations. ("Part.'', Eq. (6), blue; “Cell'', Eq. (8), red; “Mod. Part.'', Eq. (12), cyan; “Mod. Cell'', Eq. (11), yellow).
