Mapping Spatial Patterns to Energetic Benefits in Groups of Flow-coupled Swimmers
Sina Heydari, Haotian Hang, Eva A. Kanso
The paper investigates how spatial arrangements in groups of flow-coupled swimmers affect energetic costs, finding equal energy distribution in side-by-side formations and energetic savings for trailing swimmers in inline formations up to a limit.
