A Precorrected-FFT Method for Coupled Electrostatic-Stokes Flow Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the application of the boundary integral equation method for solving the motion of biological cell or particle under Stokes flow in the presence of electrostatic field. The huge dense matrix-vector product from the boundary integral method poses a computationally challenging problem for solving the large system of equations generated. In our work, we used the precorrectedFFT (pFFT) method to reduce the computational time and memory usage drastically, so that large scale simulations can be performed quickly on a personal computer. Results on the force field acting on the particle, as well as the behavior of the particle through cell trap are presented.

In air-packaged surface micromachined devices and microfluidic devices the surface to volume ratio is such that drag forces play a very important role in device behavior and performance. Especially for surface micromachined devices, the amount of drag is greatly influenced by the presence of the nearby substrate. In this thesis a precorrected FFT accelerated boundary element method specialized ...
