英文摘要：

We investigate the applicability of the Method of Regularized Stokeslets (MRS) in the simulation of micro-swimmers at low Reynolds number. The chosen model for the study is the well-known three linked spheres swimmer. We compare our results with the lattice Boltzmann method, multiparticle collision dynamics, a numerical solution of the Oseen tensor equation and an analytical solution, all taken from Earl $\textit{et al.}$ [J. Chem. Phys. 126, 064703 (2007)]. The MRS is studied in detail, and our results show an excellent agreement with the lattice Boltzmann method, and with the analytical solution in its range of validity. We conclude that the MRS is well suited for this type of simulation, offering advantages such as being easy to implement and to represent complex geometries. Therefore it presents itself as a suitable candidate for more complex simulations.

Modeling creeping flows in porous media using regularized Stokeslets

Flows in porous media in the low Reynolds number regime are often modeled by the Brinkman equations. Analytical solutions to these equations are limited to standard geometries. Finite volume or element schemes can be used in more complicated geometries, but become cumbersome when there are moving boundaries that require frequent remeshing of the domain. In Newtonian fluids, the method of regularized Stokeselets has gained popularity due to its ease of implementation, including for moving boundaries, especially for swimming and pumping problems. While the corresponding method of regularized Bri…

There's more than one way to cancel a regularized Stokeslet

The Green's functions of Stokes flow are widely used analytical and computational tools for microscale flows. We adapt a procedure from H.A. Lorentz for the method of images in Stokes flow to the regularized setting. Our solutions differ from those previously reported, a surprising result given the uniqueness theory for elliptic partial differential equations. The discrepancy originates in the fact that the two version are exact solutions of inhomogeneous Stokes systems with slightly different forcing on the right-hand sides. We compare the fluid flows produced by the two methods and conclude …

Passively parallel regularized stokeslets

Stokes flow, discussed by G.G. Stokes in 1851, describes many microscopic biological flow phenomena, including cilia-driven transport and flagellar motility; the need to quantify and understand these flows has motivated decades of mathematical and computational research. Regularized stokeslet methods, which have been used and refined over the past twenty years, offer significant advantages in simplicity of implementation, with a recent modification based on nearest-neighbour interpolation providing significant improvements in efficiency and accuracy. Moreover this method can be implemented wit…

Remarks on regularized Stokeslets in slender body theory

We remark on the use of regularized Stokeslets in the slender body theory (SBT) approximation of Stokes flow about a thin fiber of radius $ε>0$. Denoting the regularization parameter by $δ$, we consider regularized SBT based on the most common regularized Stokeslet plus a regularized doublet correction. Given sufficiently smooth force data along the filament, we derive $L^\infty$ bounds for the difference between regularized SBT and its classical counterpart in terms of $δ$, $ε$, and the force data. We show that the regularized and classical expressions for the velocity of the filament itself …

Regularized Stokeslet rings - an efficient method for axisymmetric Stokes flow, with application to the growing pollen tube

The method of regularized Stokeslets, based on the divergence-free exact solution to the equations of highly viscous flow due to a spatially-smoothed concentrated force, is widely employed in biological fluid mechanics. Many problems of interest are axisymmetric, motivating the study of the azimuthally-integrated form of the Stokeslet which physically corresponds to a ring of smoothed forces. The regularized fundamental solution for the velocity (single layer potential) and stress (double layer potential) due to an axisymmetric ring of smoothed point forces, the `regularized ringlet', is deriv…

The art of coarse Stokes: Richardson extrapolation improves the accuracy and efficiency of the method of regularized stokeslets

The method of regularised stokeslets is widely used in microscale biological fluid dynamics due to its ease of implementation, natural treatment of complex moving geometries, and removal of singular functions to integrate. The standard implementation of the method is subject to high computational cost due to the coupling of the linear system size to the numerical resolution required to resolve the rapidly-varying regularised stokeslet kernel. Here we show how Richardson extrapolation with coarse values of the regularisation parameter is ideally-suited to reduce the quadrature error, hence dram…

Regularized Stokeslets lines suitable for slender bodies in viscous flow

Slender-body approximations have been successfully used to explain many phenomena in low-Reynolds number fluid mechanics. These approximations typically use a line of singularity solutions to represent the flow. These singularities can be difficult to implement numerically because they diverge at their origin. Hence people have regularized these singularities to overcome this issue. This regularization blurs the force over a small blob therefore removing the divergent behaviour. However it is unclear how best to regularize the singularities to minimize errors. In this paper we investigate if a…

A nearest-neighbour discretisation of the regularized stokeslet boundary integral equation

The method of regularized stokeslets is extensively used in biological fluid dynamics due to its conceptual simplicity and meshlessness. This simplicity carries a degree of cost in computational expense and accuracy because the number of degrees of freedom used to discretise the unknown surface traction is generally significantly higher than that required by boundary element methods. We describe a meshless method based on nearest-neighbour interpolation that significantly reduces the number of degrees of freedom required to discretise the unknown traction, increasing the range of problems that…

Using Experimentally Calibrated Regularized Stokeslets to Assess Bacterial Flagellar Motility Near a Surface

The presence of a nearby boundary is likely to be important in the life cycle and evolution of motile flagellate bacteria. This has led many authors to employ numerical simulations to model near-surface bacterial motion and compute hydrodynamic boundary effects. A common choice has been the method of images for regularized Stokeslets (MIRS); however, the method requires discretization sizes and regularization parameters that are not specified by any theory. To determine appropriate regularization parameters for given discretization choices in MIRS, we conducted dynamically similar macroscopic …

Towards an analytical description of active microswimmers in clean and in surfactant-covered drops

Geometric confinements are frequently encountered in the biological world and strongly affect the stability, topology, and transport properties of active suspensions in viscous flow. Based on a far-field analytical model, the low-Reynolds-number locomotion of a self-propelled microswimmer moving inside a clean viscous drop or a drop covered with a homogeneously distributed surfactant, is theoretically examined. The interfacial viscous stresses induced by the surfactant are described by the well-established Boussinesq-Scriven constitutive rheological model. Moreover, the active agent is represe…
