This paper uses a fluid mechanics approach to perform swarming aggregation on a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (QUAV) swarm platform. This is done by adapting the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. An algorithm benchmarking is conducted to see how well SPH performs. Simulations of v...
