Title: Modeling of fish schooling with Reaction Transport Equations

Abstract: 

Schools of fish are formed by moving individuals who align their body axes
(i.e. direction of movement). Simple models based on transport equations
in one and two spatial dimensions are presented and investigated.
Comparison to earlier alignment models is made. It is shown how alignment
can lead to survival in situations where a non-aligning population
vanishes, for example due to predation.
