A simple analytical solution is obtained for the MHD stokeslet in a homogeneous magnetic field. This solution represents the flow past a small particle and can also be interpreted as the flow sufficiently far away from a body of finite…

Many problems in fluid dynamics are effectively modeled as Stokes flows - slow, viscous flows where the Reynolds number is small. Boundary integral equations are often used to solve these problems, where the fundamental solutions for the…
The dynamics of evolving fluid films in the viscous Stokes limit is relevant to various applications, such as the modeling of lipid bilayers in cells. While the governing equations were formulated by Scriven in 1960, solving for the flow of…

Two-dimensional Stokes flow through a periodic channel is considered. The channel walls need only be Lipschitz continuous, in other words they are allowed to have corners. Boundary integral methods are an attractive tool for numerically…
