Phototactic orientation Fokker-Planck equation
ID: phototactic-orientation-fokker-planck-equation
For isotropic rotational diffusion, orientation drift and probability density obey the displayed Fokker-Planck equation, normalized with respect to solid angle. Without flow, constant light gives the zero-current density , . Integration over the sphere gives unit mass; its mean projection is the Langevin function. The zero-light limit is the uniform density .
