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

Figure 9

A range of simulated corals for 𝛼 = 0.4 (4) with varying values in (5) for ambient (the values shown in the middle) and polygon spacing 𝑑 1.9 lattice units (left) and 3.7 lattice units (right). 85 growth steps. Simulated nutrient is exclusively distributed by diffusion.
