A research team from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and New York University (NYU) has showcased a new mathematical model capable of determining what formations give a school's swimmers the biggest advantage when it comes to energy efficiency and speeds, particularly when compared to school-less fishes. This image shows the comparison of school formations and fluid flows examined by the team's model: (a) in-line formation; (b) phalanx; (c) rectangular lattice; (d) diamond lattice.
