Is cell segregation like oil and water: Asymptotic versus transitory regime
Fig 4
The cellular automaton reproduces the cluster size distribution ρ of the experiments of Méhes et al. [20] for EPC with PFK closer than the Cahn-Hilliard model.
Shown is the reverse cumulative probability that a randomly drawn cell belongs to a cluster of respective size. For both models and the video S5 from Ref. [20], two separate cluster size distributions are shown, one at an early stage (t ≈ 55min) and one at a later stage (t ≈ 800min). The cluster size distributions represent exclusively PFK clusters, since EPC as the more abundant cell type forms one large connected sea, which we ignore in the distributions. Note that clusters below 2 cells are neglected as they can not be resolved in the video, see S1 Text.
