The unsteady hydrodynamics of two pitching foils arranged in a side-by-side (parallel)
configuration is examined for a range of Strouhal numbers, phase differences, oscillation …

Collective behavior is ubiquitous among fish, yet, its hows and whys are yet to be completely
elucidated. It is known that several environmental factors can dramatically influence …

For over a century, scientists have sought to understand how fish orient against an incoming
flow, even without visual and flow cues. Here, we elucidate a potential hydrodynamic …

The propulsive performance and the wake interactions between a pair of pitching foils in
several staggered configurations are studied experimentally. Results are limited to cases …

This article presents a geometrical region-based shape control methodology for navigating a
cohesive swarm-robotic structure toward the goal even in a field occluded by unknown …

Social facilitation is a well-known phenomenon where the presence of organisms belonging
to the same species enhances an individual organism's performance in a specific task. As …

It has long been proposed that animals flying in the air and swimming in the water could
extract energy from neighbour-induced flows. A large number of mechanisms have been …

In-phase and anti-phase synchronization of neighboring swimmers is examined
experimentally using two self-propelled independent flexible foils swimming side-by-side in …

Burst-and-coast swimming is an intermittent mode of locomotion used by various fish
species. The intermittent gait has been associated with certain advantages such as …

Ecological physiologists and biomechanists have investigated swimming performance in a
diversity of fishes; however, the connection between form, function, and energetics of …
