(Phys.org)—An international team of researchers studying starling flock sizes in Rome has found that flocks of different sizes behave differently due to wave properties similar to fluids. In their paper published in Physical Review Letters, the researchers describe how they created 3D models based on the starlings and what was revealed by doing so.
