Many animals in nature travel in groups either for protection, survival, or endurance. Among
these, certain species do so under the burden of aero/hydrodynamic loads, which incites …

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 …

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 …

Numerical simulations are employed to study hydrodynamic interactions between two-
dimensional fish-like bodies under a traveling wavy lateral motion in high-density diamond …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The hydrodynamics of schooling fish has been the subject of continued investigation over
the last 50 years; fish schools exhibit a variety of arrangements and several distinct …

This paper develops a tree-topological local mesh refinement (TLMR) method on Cartesian
grids for the simulation of bio-inspired flow with multiple moving objects. The TLMR nests …

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