A free-boundary model of a motile cell explains turning behavior

Fig 5

Cell speeds and areas as functions of v0 and μtot.

(a) Dimensionless translational or linear rotational speed of a cell centroid were obtained with α = 1 for ZV model and α = 0.5 for ZS model. (b) Dimensionless steady-state areas for values of α as in panel (a). Insets in both panels: corresponding level sets.
