Abstract
We report various types of coherent structures in suspensions of spherical particles swimming in a suspension. We solve the fluid dynamics precisely from far-field hydrodynamic interactions to lubrication between two near-contact surfaces. The simulation results clearly illustrate that coherent structures, such as aggregation, meso-scale spatiotemporal motion and band formation, can be generated by purely hydrodynamic interactions.
