Abstract

We study the swarming behavior of hydrodynamic alignment. Alignment reflects steering toward a weighted average heading. We consider the class of so-called p p -alignment hydrodynamics, based on 2 p 2p -Laplacians and weighted by a general family of symmetric communication kernels. The main new aspect here is the long-time emergence behavior for a general class of pressure tensors without a closure assumption, beyond the mere requirement that they form an energy dissipative process. We refer to such pressure laws as “entropic”, and prove the flocking of p p -alignment hydrodynamics, driven by singular kernels with a general class of entropic pressure tensors. These results indicate the rigidity of alignment in driving long-time flocking behavior despite the lack of thermodynamic closure.
