球形几何中点力矩和源引起的Stokes流

Stokes flow due to point torques and sources in a spherical geometry

Alexander Chamolly, Eric Lauga

摘要:

近五十年来,用少数流体力学象奇异性描述的Stokes方程的解一直是理论和数值计算中的一个有用工具。在这篇文章中,我们扩展了已知的解决方案的目录,推导出由于一个一般的点扭矩和点源的存在下,一个静止的球与无滑移或无应力(无剪切)的边界条件的流量表达式。对于一个轴对称的点转矩和一个无滑动的球的图像系统简化为一个单一的图像点转矩,让人想起的解决方案,一个点电荷外的一个等势球的静电。通过对称性,这也给出了刚性球壳内轴对称点扭矩的解的简单表示。在所有其余的情况下,解决方案可以通过物理直观的点和线奇点的集合来描述。我们的研究结果将是有用的推进的微型游泳者的理论建模和有效的数值实现的远场流体动力学相互作用在这种几何形状。

英文摘要:

Solutions to the Stokes equations written in terms of a small number of hydrodynamic image singularities have been a useful tool in theoretical and numerical computations for nearly fifty years. In this article, we extend the catalogue of known solutions by deriving the flow expressions due to a general point torque and point source in the presence of a stationary sphere with either a no-slip or a stress-free (no shear) boundary condition. For an axisymmetric point torque and a no-slip sphere the image system simplifies to a single image point torque, reminiscent of the solution for a point charge outside an equipotential sphere in electrostatics. By symmetry, this also gives a simple representation of the solution due to an axisymmetric point torque inside a rigid spherical shell. In all remaining cases, the solution can be described by a collection of physically intuitive point and line singularities. Our results will be useful for the theoretical modelling of the propulsion of microswimmers and efficient numerical implementation of far-field hydrodynamic interactions in this geometry.
