abstract = {Systems of self-propelled particles are known for their
tendency to aggregate and to display swarm behavior. We
investigate two model systems: self-propelled rods
interacting via volume exclusion and sinusoidally beating
flagella embedded in a fluid with hydrodynamic interactions.
In the flagella system, beating frequencies are Gaussian
distributed with a nonzero average. These systems are
studied by Brownian-dynamics simulations and by mesoscale
hydrodynamics simulations, respectively. The clustering
behavior is analyzed as the particle density and the
environmental or internal noise are varied. By
distinguishing three types of cluster-size probability
density functions, we obtain a phase diagram of different
swarm behaviors. The properties of clusters such as their
configuration, lifetime, and average size are analyzed. We
find that the swarm behavior of the two systems,
characterized by several effective power laws, is very
similar. However, a more careful analysis reveals several
differences. Clusters of self-propelled rods form due to
partially blocked forward motion and are therefore typically
wedge shaped. At higher rod density and low noise, a giant
mobile cluster appears, in which most rods are mostly
oriented toward the center. In contrast, flagella become
hydrodynamically synchronized and attract each other; their
clusters are therefore more elongated. Furthermore, the
lifetime of flagella clusters decays more quickly with
cluster size than of rod clusters.},
