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 …

Fishes school to swim more efficiently while not much of fish schooling is understood from
the perspective of fluid–structure interactions. To understand the benefits of fish schooling …

To investigate the hydrodynamic performance of two manta rays swimming in groups under
staggered formation, first, a computational model and motion equations of manta rays were …

There is a potential trade-off between grouping and the optimizing of the energetic efficiency
of individual locomotion. Although intermittent locomotion, eg glide and upward swimming …

Collective locomotion of two-dimensional lattices of flapping plates. Part 2. Lattice flows and
propulsive efficiency Page 1 J. Fluid Mech. (2021), vol. 915, A21, doi:10.1017/jfm.2021.43 …

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 …

Moving in a group while avoiding collisions with group members causes internal dynamics
in the group. Although these dynamics have recently been measured quantitatively in …

In this work, numerical simulations are employed to study hydrodynamic interactions in trout-
like three-dimensional (3D) fish bodies arranged in vertical and horizontal planes. The fish …

Many fish species form social aggregations or shoals. Understanding the conditions under
which these groups sometimes coordinate their behavior in space and time, or “school,” is …
