“What is a flow field? Think of your Processing window as a grid. In each cell of the grid lives an arrow pointing in some direction—you know, a vector. As a vehicle moves around the screen, it asks, ‘Hey, what arrow is beneath me? That’s my desired velocity!’”

We are using Flow Fields to elucidate the environment with the movements of the microbes.
I am using a paper called "Computational Fluid Dynamics of Sponge Aquiferous Systems" as a scientific reference and pulling some artistic license as to how microbes may move in an urban environment.
