In the paper we investigated the hydrodynamic synchronization of autonomous oscillators. We have shown that two particles in general synchronize in-phase and that the level of synchronization is stronger when the particles are arranged parallel to the direction of oscillations than perpendicular. Our study shows that self-oscillating particles can act as a model system for synchronization between biological cilia. Although several model systems for hydrodynamic synchronization had been published previously, ours was the first to use truly autonomous microscopic oscillators. The results were published in Physical Review E (Rapid Communication), where the paper was also highlighted as Editor's suggestion.
