From agent-based dynamics to a kinetic theory of jellyfish swarms
Nicolas Perez, Erik Gengel, Zafrir Kuplik +1
Massive jellyfish swarms observed at sea can extend over tens of kilometres and contain millions of individuals, yet the mechanisms governing their formation and large-scale dynami…

A Swarm Coherence Mechanism for Jellyfish
Erik Gengel, Zafrir Kuplik, Dror Angel +1
We present a theory of jellyfish swarm formation and exemplify it with simulations of active Brownian particles. The motivation for our analysis is the phenomenon of jellyfish bloo…

A physics-based model of swarming jellyfish
Erik Gengel, Zafrir Kuplik, Dror Angel +1
We propose a model for the structure formation of jellyfish swimming based on active Brownian particles. We address the phenomena of counter-current swimming, avoidance of turbulen…
