Abstract: We continue our study of one-dimensional class of Euler equations, introduced in cite{ST2016}, driven by a forcing with a commutator structure of the form [aLphi,u](ho)=phi∗(hou)−(phi∗ho)u, where u is the velocity field and phi belongs to a rather general class of emph{influence} or interaction kernels. In this paper we quantify the large-time behavior of such systems in terms of emph{fast flocking} for two prototypical sub-classes of kernels: bounded positive phi's, and singular phi(r)=r−(1+a) of order alphain[1,2) associated with the action of the fractional Laplacian aLphi=−(−partialxx)alpha/2. Specifically, we prove fast velocity alignment as the velocity u(cdot,t) approaches a constant state, , with exponentially decaying slope and curvature bounds |ux(cdot,t)|infty+|uxx(cdot,t)|inftylesssime−dt. The alignment is accompanied by exponentially fast flocking of the density towards a fixed traveling state .
