چکیده
We describe a method to numerically model flows through porous media by representing the medium as randomly distributed collection of regularized Stokeslets. establish correspondence between our and Brinkman description media. The provides flexible way treat with complex geometries deforming boundaries. demonstrate it using examples microscale swimmers.

Modeling slender bodies with the method of regularized Stokeslets
The motion and flow generated by immersed structures in a fluid in the Stokes regime can be modeled with a variety of different numerical methods. The mathematical structure of the Stokes equations allows one to describe the flow around a three-dimensional object using only information regarding its geometry. This leads to computational techniques such as boundary integral methods or the method...
متن کاملMacroscopic Modeling of Turbulence in Porous Media Flows
A new model to describe turbulent flows within the porous media approximation is presented. The spatialand time fluctuations in this new model are tied together and treated as a single quantity. This novel treatment of the fluctuations leads to a natural construction of the “k” and “epsilon” type equations for rigid and isotropic porous media in which all the kinetic energy filtered in the aver...
متن کاملModeling a semi-flexible filament in cellular Stokes flow using regularized Stokeslets
Many physical and biological systems involve inextensible fibers immersed in a fluid; examples include cilia, polymer suspensions, and actin filament transport. In such systems, the dynamics of the immersed fibers may play a significant role in the observed macroscale fluid dynamics. In this study, we simulate the dynamics of an approximately inextensible semi-flexible fiber immersed in a two-d...
متن کاملA multirate time integrator for regularized Stokeslets
The method of regularized Stokeslets is a numerical approach to approximating solutions of fluid-structure interaction problems in the Stokes regime. Regularized Stokeslets are fundamental solutions to the Stokes equations with a regularized point-force term that are used to represent forces generated by rigid or elastic object interacting with the fluid. Due to the linearity of the Stokes equa...
متن کاملThe method of images for regularized Stokeslets
The image system for the method of regularized Stokeslets is developed and implemented. The method uses smooth localized functions to approximate a delta distribution in the derivation of the fluid flow due to a concentrated force. In order to satisfy zero-flow boundary conditions at a plane wall, the method of images derived for a standard (singular) Stokeslet is extended to give exact cancell...
