Exploring the vast expanse of oceans, Earth's largest realm and a vital resource repository,
has intrigued humanity, transcending disciplinary boundaries. Recent breakthroughs in …

Collective behaviour defines the lives of many animal species on the Earth. Underwater
swarms span several orders of magnitude in size, from coral larvae and krill to tunas and …

Schooling in fish is linked to a number of factors such as increased foraging success,
predator avoidance, and social interactions. In addition, a prevailing hypothesis is that …

Collective motion of organisms is a widespread phenomenon exhibited by many species,
most commonly associated with colonial birds and schools of fish. The benefits of schooling …

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 …

To investigate the effect of arrangement and attack angle on the hydrodynamic performance
of double manta rays in group gliding, a manta ray model was first established based on the …

How does the spread of behavior affect consensus-based collective decision-making among
animals, humans or swarming robots? In prior research, such propagation of behavior on …

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

Many aquatic and aerial animal species are known to utilise their surrounding flow field
and/or the induced flow field of a neighbour to reduce their physical exertion, however, the …

Fish schools can make frequent accelerations that are almost simultaneous. While schooling
at constant speed is well studied, far less is known concerning accelerating fish school …
