Flocking seminar


I attended a very interesting seminar on flocking behaviour given by Eitan Tadmor entitled "From particle to kinetic and hydrodynamic descriptions of old and new models for flocking". This was part of the North British Differential Equations Seminar series, which is always worth attending.

I'll hopefully write more about Eitan's analysis of flocking models later but there does seem to be some very interesting mathematics in this area, and scope for aspects of the theory of anisotropy materials to be used.

This paper might be a good place to start.
