Alignment-induced self-organization of autonomously steering microswimmers: Turbulence, clusters, vortices, and jets by Segun Goh, Elmar Westphal, Roland G. Winkler, Gerhard Gompper

“…Pullers exhibit a strong tendency for clustering and display velocity and vorticity distributions with fat exponential tails; their dynamics is chaotic, with a temporal appearance of vortex rings and fluid jets. Our results show that the collective behavior of autonomously steering microswimmers displays a rich variety of dynamic self-organized structures. …”
