30. We assign a value of k/2 to those springs that are located on the cilia surfaces and k/4 to the springs at the edges. We also set the LSM masses equal to m/2 and m/4 for nodes at the surfaces and edges, respectively.

34. Note that the cilia are constructed from a lattice with only four nodes across. To verify the accuracy of the model, we simulated the bending of a cilium due to a perpendicular force applied to its free end and found that an increase in lattice resolution effectively does not affect the deflection. Note also that for a 50% declination me difference between our LSM model and the linear theory prediction is about 10% and it increases to about 20% for a 100% declination (i.e., when declination is equal to the cilium length).
