Stokesian dynamics of close particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stokesian dynamics simulations of close particles are reported, taking into account lubrication forces and many-body hydrodynamic interactions between spheres. A periodic trajectory of three particles maintaining a permanent proximity to each other has been found and analyzed. This solution is used as a benchmark to study the accuracy and stability of various numerical integration schemes. In particular, different methods of preventing unphysical overlaps of the particles are considered and potential artifacts discussed. © 2008 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.2930881

A Stokesian Dynamics Approach for Simulation of Magnetic Particle Suspensions
The dynamic behaviour of μm-scale ferromagnetic particles in suspension is relevant for various mineral beneficiation processes. It is, however, difficult to experimentally study such processes at the particle-level. In these instances it can be advantageous to resort to suitable particle simulation methods. Stokesian dynamics is a mesh-free numerical technique developed for suspensions of nm t...
متن کاملModeling hydrodynamic self-propulsion with Stokesian Dynamics. Or teaching Stokesian Dynamics to swim
We develop a general framework for modeling the hydrodynamic self-propulsion (i.e., swimming) of bodies (e.g., microorganisms) at low Reynolds number via Stokesian Dynamics simulations. The swimming body is composed of many spherical particles constrained to form an assembly that deforms via relative motion of its constituent particles. The resistance tensor describing the hydrodynamic interact...
متن کاملSimulation of hydrodynamically interacting particles near a no-slip boundary
The dynamics of spherical particles near a single plane wall are computed using an extension of the Stokesian dynamics method that includes long-range many-body and pairwise lubrication interactions between the spheres and the wall in Stokes flow. Extra care is taken to ensure that the mobility and resistance tensors are symmetric, positive, and definite—something which is ineluctable for parti...
متن کاملA Modified Stokesian Dynamics Method for Mineral Suspensions
A 3-dimensional modified Stokesian dynamics-based technique for simulating mineral particle suspensions is presented. Stokesian dynamics is a mesh free particle approach, which resembles the discrete element method. It includes hydrodynamic interactions and other interparticle forces. Expressions for the hydrodynamic interactions were modified based on results from finite element (FE) calculati...
متن کاملAccelerated Stokesian dynamics: Brownian motion
A new Stokesian dynamics ~SD! algorithm for Brownian suspensions is presented. The implementation is based on the recently developed accelerated Stokesian dynamics ~ASD! simulation method @Sierou and Brady, J. Fluid Mech. 448, 115 ~2001!# for non-Brownian particles. As in ASD, the many-body long-range hydrodynamic interactions are computed using fast Fourier transforms, and the resistance matri...
