Collective cell behavior - a phase field active polar gel model — •Axel Voigt, Simon Praetorius, and Dennis Wenzel — TU Dresden, Institut für Wissenschaftliches Rechnen

We consider a continuum model for collective cell movement. Each cell is modeled by a phase field active polar gel model and the cells interact via steric interactions. We provide a finite element implementation with a parallel efficiency in the number of cells. This is achieved by considering each cell on a different processor and various improvements to reduce the communication overhead to deal with the cell-cell interactions. We demonstrate results for up to 1.000 cells.
