Abstract
A mathematical model and numerical method for studying the collective dynamics of geotactic, gyrotactic and chemotactic micro-organisms immersed in a viscous fluid is presented. The NavierTaylor) instability and eventually in steady or chaotic convection that transports molecules and affects the translocation of organisms. Computational results that examine the long-time behaviour of the full nonlinear system are presented.Keywords
