Macroscopic Modelling of Environmental Influence on Growth and Form of Sponges and Corals Using the Accretive Growth Model

Figure 7

Calculated light intensities on a simulated branching object. The light direction corresponds to the vertical in the simulation box (Figure 4). The light intensities were computed with (5); the light intensities were corrected for shading by using (6). Simulated nutrient is distributed by diffusion.
