Numerical Simulation for Honeycomb Formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a simple mathematical model and numerical simulations of the hexagonal pattern formation of a honeycomb using the immersed boundary method. In our model, we assume that the cells have a circular shape at their birth and there is force acting upon the entire circumference of the cell. The net force from the individual cells is a key factor in their transformation from a circular shape to a rounded hexagonal shape. Numerical experiments of the proposed mathematical model equation exhibit the hexagonal patterns observed in honeybee colonies.
