Energetic benefit and enhanced performance are considered among the most fascinating
achievements of collective behaviours, eg fish schools and flying formations. The collective …

The study is motivated by the quest to understand hydrodynamic interactions and wake
dynamics of fish schooling. Using the constraint immersed boundary method, the work …

We perform numerical simulations using immersed boundary method for flow over a single
and two fish in tandem performing traveling wave like motion for a range of Strouhal …

Fish benefit energetically when swimming in groups, which is reflected in lower tail-beat
frequencies for maintaining a given speed. Recent studies further show that fish save the …

Many animals live in groups because of the potential benefits associated with defense and
foraging. Group living may also induce a 'calming effect'on individuals, reducing overall …

A novel image analysis‐based technique applied to unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) survey
data is described to detect and locate individual free‐ranging sharks within aggregations …

Fish schools are fascinating examples of macro-scale systems with collective behaviours.
According to conventional wisdom, the establishment and maintenance of fish schools …

The physical basis for fish schooling is examined using three-dimensional numerical
simulations of a pair of swimming fish, with kinematics and geometry obtained from …

The mechanism behind stable aggregations of active swimmers is not fully understood. In
particular, the in-depth quantitative explanations are notably lacking. To address this, a …

Schools of fish can provide individuals with hydrodynamic advantages, thereby improving
the swimming efficiency. Fish schools in nature are mostly spatial configurations, not just …
