Geometry of motility supporting zone for simulations. (a) Generalized geometry with one part of the zone defined by an ellipse and another part defined by a second degree polynomial (e.g., filled or dashed line). Polynomials selected to be continuous with the ellipse and also with continuity of first derivative. (b) Special case with and very small value of . This special case was exclusively used here.
