The collective directional movement of animals occurs over both short distances and longer
migrations, and is a critical aspect of feeding, reproduction and the ecology of many species …

Mechanisms for hydrodynamic benefit via fluid interactions in large planar fish schools (n≥
10) are investigated by two-dimensional numerical simulations of carangiform fish …

Given growing interest in emulating dolphin morphology and kinematics to design high-
performance underwater vehicles, the current research effort is dedicated to studying the …

This article presents the evolutionary history of immersed boundary methods (IBMs), tracing
their origins to the very beginning of computational fluid dynamics in the late 1950s all the …

We numerically investigate the hydrodynamic interactions between a pair of three-
dimensional (3D) fish-like bodies arranged in both in-line and side-by-side configurations …

This study investigates the interaction of a two-manta-ray school using computational fluid
dynamics simulations. The baseline case consists of two in-phase undulating three …

Insect wings are flexible structures that exhibit deformations of complex spatiotemporal
patterns. Existing studies on wing deformation underscore the indispensable role of wing …

Understanding the flow physics behind fish schooling poses significant challenges due to
the difficulties in directly measuring hydrodynamic performance and the three-dimensional …

To examine the effect that body shape plays in the interactions between fish in a dense fish
school, fish-like undulating foils are numerically studied in a high-density diamond school …

The canonical motion of foils has been studied extensively in many applications, including
energy harvesting. The advantage of undulating foils is often realized in their ability to …
