(a) Concentration profiles of with BC at the tip β = 1. Space-time plot of the total myosin concentration is in the right-most panel. Color scheme and parameters as in Fig. 5. For convection and short protrusion (h<hc) a quiescent state is obtained, where the unstable modes that initiate the TWs are washed out before they have time to grow. (b) Snapshots showing the evolution of unstable modes into TWs on larger domains (h > hc). (c) Snapshots for BC at the tip β = 0.5.
