Lattices of hydrodynamically interacting flapping swimmers

AU Oza, L Ristroph, MJ Shelley - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
Fish schools and bird flocks exhibit complex collective dynamics whose self-organization
principles are largely unknown. The influence of hydrodynamics on such collectives has …

Passive hydrodynamic interactions in minimal fish schools

C Wei, Q Hu, T Zhang, Y Zeng - Ocean Engineering, 2022 - Elsevier
It is a long-held perception that schooling swimming of fish can provide individuals in a
group with additional hydrodynamic benefits. However how fish maintain a stable schooling …

Collective behavior in wild zebrafish

DS Shelton, SG Shelton, DK Daniel, M Raja, A Bhat… - Zebrafish, 2020 - liebertpub.com

[HTML][HTML] Burst-and-coast swimmers optimize gait by adapting unique intrinsic cycle

G Li, I Ashraf, B François, D Kolomenskiy… - Communications …, 2021 - nature.com
This paper addresses the physical mechanism of intermittent swimming by considering the
burst-and-coast regime of fish swimming at different speeds. The burst-and-coast regime …

Aerodynamic performance and flow mechanism of multi-flapping wings with different spatial arrangements

X Meng, Z Chen, Y Zhang, G Chen - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
In nature, the phenomenon of cluster movements of fish, birds, and insects is universal,
which constantly inspires people to explore its advantages. In this study, the aerodynamic …

Self-organization of multiple self-propelling flapping foils: energy saving and increased speed

X Lin, J Wu, T Zhang, L Yang - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
The collective hydrodynamics in fish schools and bird flocks, which includes self-
organization of multiple dynamic bodies, is complex and lacks sufficient exploration. In this …

Learning to school in dense configurations with multi-agent deep reinforcement learning

Y Zhu, JH Pang, T Gao, FB Tian - Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Fish are observed to school in different configurations. However, how and why fish maintain
a stable schooling formation still remains unclear. This work presents a numerical study of …

The sensory basis of schooling by intermittent swimming in the rummy-nose tetra (Hemigrammus rhodostomus)

A McKee, AP Soto, P Chen… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Schooling is a collective behaviour that enhances the ability of a fish to sense and respond
to its environment. Although schooling is essential to the biology of a diversity of fishes, it is …

How swimming style and schooling affect the hydrodynamics of two accelerating wavy hydrofoils

Z Lin, APS Bhalla, BE Griffith, Z Sheng, H Li, D Liang… - Ocean …, 2023 - Elsevier
