Fig. 9. Presentation of the sperm–egg collision data using dimensionless variables. (A) The highly motile sperm–egg collision data. The normalized sperm diffusion coefficient values are obtained using Formula 10, where tsim is the simulation time (1800 s) and {phi}egg is the egg diameter. The normalized collision times are the ratio of time required for 10/30 highly motile sperm to collide the egg, to the simulation time. The values along y-axis are the average collision time values. (B) The bulk sperm–egg collision data. The normalized sperm diffusion coefficient values are obtained using Formula 10, where tsim is the simulation time (1800 s) and {phi}egg is the egg diameter. The normalized number of collision values are obtained by dividing the number of bulk sperm hitting the egg in 1800 s by the initial number of sperm. The values along y-axis are average values of number of collisions. Lines joining data points show trends only.
