A novel coupled fluid-behavior model for simulating dynamic huddle formation.

A coupled numerical model is developed to examine aggregative behavior in instances where the behavior not only responds to the environment, but the environment responds to the behavior such as fish schooling and penguin huddling. In the coupled model, the full Navier-Stokes equations are solved for...
