Merging and separation of flocking groups are often observed in our natural complex systems. In this paper, we employ the Cucker-Smale particle model to model such merging and separation phenomena. For definiteness, we consider the interaction of two homogeneous Cucker-Smale ensembles and present several sufficient frameworks for mono-cluster flocking, bi-cluster flocking and partial flocking in terms of coupling strength, communication weight, and initial configurations.
