Example of summary plots generated using a basic simulation of the compuGUT.

<p>Plots illustrate the coarse composition of material (as percentage) along the length of the colon (x-axis), at various time values during an 8 week simulation. Complete time dynamics animations can be found on project web-page. Figures in rows 1 and 2 indicate solution at specified times in the lumen and mucus environments, respectively. These figures demonstrate the relative consistency of material composition along the length of the colon in the mucus environment, and that material composition changes notably along the length of the colon in the lumen environment. However, the profile along the length of the colon in the lumen environment does approach a periodic solution (best illustrated as animation) after approx. 2 weeks (336 hours).
