Abstract :
Collective motion of living beings (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, bacterial colonies) exhibits a large variety of emergent phenomena. We consider a self-propelled particle (SPP) model of collective motion in three dimensions, which is a generalized version of the original SPP model. By extending the factors influencing the ordering, the model assumes that the movement of particles depends on both the velocity and acceleration of neighboring particles.
