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

It is a long-held perception that schooling swimming of fish can provide individuals in a
group with additional hydrodynamic benefits. However how fish maintain a stable schooling …

While classic hydrodynamic models predict ordered formations for fish schools, observations
show that schools are seemingly disordered. Our experiments on robotic swimmers may …

Fish schooling is a common phenomenon that is assumed to have energy advantages, and
various fish schooling configurations have been observed. However, the underlying …

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 …

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

Fish schools and bird flocks exhibit complex collective dynamics whose self-organization
principles are largely unknown. The influence of hydrodynamics on such collectives has …

This work presents a numerical study of the collective motion of two freely-swimming
swimmers by a hybrid method of the deep reinforcement learning method (DRL) and the …

Schooling, an archetype of collective behaviour, emerges from the interactions of fish
responding to sensory information mediated by their aqueous environment. A fundamental …

Fish schools are ubiquitous in marine life. Although flow interactions are thought to be
beneficial for schooling, their exact effects on the speed, energetics and stability of the group …
