A muscle-contraction model of pre-strains is utilized to conduct a numerical investigation on
the collective swimming of two self-propelled fish-like swimmers. To simulate the conscious …

Social behaviors and group formation are found across the animal kingdom but have been,
until recently, traditionally neglected in sharks and rays. Despite this, some of the most …

The water flow velocity is a crucial environmental physical factor that drastically impacts the
survival and stock distribution of marine organisms. To facilitate the restoration of wild stocks …

Schooling fish exhibit captivating biological behaviors that have garnered interest from both
biologists and engineers. While the undulatory motion of fish in schools has been …

Interactions between biological and physical processes, so‐called bio‐physical feedbacks,
are important for landscape evolution. While these feedbacks have been quantified for …

While fixed visual cues provide reliable reference points for navigation in static water, it
remains unclear whether fish energetically benefit from their presence in flowing water …

Early research in aerodynamics and biological propulsion was dramatically advanced by the
analytical solutions of Theodorsen, von Kármán, Wu and others. While these classical …

We study the orientational order of an immobile fish school. Starting from the second Newton
law, we show that the inertial dynamics of orientations is ruled by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck …

We characterised the hydrodynamics of the two staggered swimming fish using vortex
dynamic method. Based on the theoretical model, we showed that the horizontal spacing …

Fish often swim in crystallized group formations (schooling) and orient themselves against
the incoming flow (rheotaxis). At the intersection of these two phenomena, we investigate the …
