MEAM Seminar: “Collective Transitions in Beating Cilia and Swimming Fish”
MEAM Seminar: “Collective Transitions in Beating Cilia and Swimming Fish”
I will discuss the collective modes that spontaneously emerge in ciliary carpets and fish schools. In both systems, the fluid medium couples the motion of individuals in the group. Flow coupling is dominated by viscous forces in cilia and by inertial interactions in fish. I will show, numerically and analytically in the continuum limit, that […]
