Abstract: We consider a system of two reaction-diffusion-advection equations describing the one dimensional directed motion of particles with superimposed diffusion and mutual alignment. For this system we show the existence of traveling wave solutions for weak diffusion by singular perturbation techniques and provide evidence for their existence also for stronger diffusion. We discuss different types of wave fronts and their composition to more complex patterns and illustrate their emergence from generic initial data by simulations. We also investigate the dependence of the wave velocities on the model parameters.
