Fishes have learned how to achieve outstanding swimming performance through the
evolution of hundreds of millions of years, which can provide bio-inspiration for robotic fish …

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 …

Flying and swimming in nature present sophisticated and exciting ventures in biomimetics,
which seeks sustainable solutions and solves practical problems by emulating nature's time …

The question of how individuals in a population organize when living in groups arises for
systems as different as a swarm of microorganisms or a flock of seagulls. The different …

Fish adaption behaviors in complex environments are of great importance in improving the
performance of underwater vehicles. This work presents a numerical study of the adaption …

A potential benefit of swimming together in coordinated schools is to allow fish to extract
energy from vortices shed by their neighbours, thus reducing the costs of locomotion. This …

Interacting pedestrians in a crowd spontaneously adjust their footsteps and align their
respective stepping phases. This self-organization phenomenon is known as …

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 …

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