  /**
   * \brief For self-attachment scenarios, initialises agents on the boundary layer rather than
   * substrarum, and models their swim to the surface or biofilm
   *
   * <p>For self-attachment scenarios, the agents are initialised at the top of the boundary layer
   * rather than on the substratum. These agents then perform a 'run and tumble' motion until they
   * either attach to the substratum or forming biofilm. This method captures this behaviour for
   * cells that are created for a time step. Once this swimming action has been performed, the agent
   * is created at its final position. Note that input of agents onto the boundary layer is decided
   * by a parameter set in the protocol file, cellAttachmentFrequency, measured in hours. The number
   * of cells is adjusted to suit the global time step that is being used. Also note that this
   * injection of cells can be for a set period (specified in the protocol file as parameter
   * cellInjectionPeriod), or can be stopped and started (modelling a 'settling' period) using
   * parameters cellInjectionOffPeriod and cellInjectionStopHour. This is explained in detail in the
   * tutorial for version 1.2 of iDynoMiCS.
