We present a numerical method for computing the single layer (Stokeslet) and double layer (stresslet) integrals in Stokes flow. The method applies to smooth, closed surfaces in three dimensions, and achieves high accuracy both on and near…
A boundary element implementation of the regularised Stokeslet method of Cortez is applied to cilia and flagella-driven flows in biology. Previously-published approaches implicitly combine the force discretisation and the numerical…
We study Green functions for the pressure of stationary Stokes systems in a (possibly unbounded) domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where $d\ge 2$. We construct the Green function when coefficients are merely measurable in one direction…
In this paper, we first try to shed light on the ambiguities that exist in the literature in the generalization of the standard linear response theory (LRT) which has been basically formulated for closed systems to the theory of open…
The Reynolds equation from lubrication theory and the Stokes equations for zero Reynolds number flows are distinct models for an incompressible fluid with negligible inertia. Here we investigate the sensitivity of the Reynolds equation to…
We remark on the use of regularized Stokeslets in the slender body theory (SBT) approximation of Stokes flow about a thin fiber of radius $\epsilon>0$. Denoting the regularization parameter by $\delta$, we consider regularized SBT based on…
We prove the existence and pointwise bounds of the Green functions for stationary Stokes systems with measurable coefficients in two dimensional domains. We also establish pointwise bounds of the derivatives of the Green functions under a…
We study estimates of the Green's function in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \ge 2$, for the linear second order elliptic equation in divergence form with variable uniformly elliptic coefficients. In the case $d \ge 3$, we obtain estimates on the…
Stokes flow equations have been implemented successfully in practice for simulating problems with moving interfaces. Though computational methods produce accurate solutions and numerical convergence can be demonstrated using a resolution…
This paper seeks to carry out the rigorous homogenization of a particulate flow consisting of a non-dilute suspension of a viscous Newtonian fluid with magnetizable particles. The fluid is assumed to be described by the Stokes flow, while…
A double-layer integral equation for the surface tractions on a body moving in a viscous fluid is derived which allows for the incorporation of a background flow and/or the presence of a plane wall. The Lorentz reciprocal theorem is used to…
We propose a mixed finite element method for Stokes flow with one degree of freedom per element and facet of simplicial grids. The method is derived by considering the vorticity-velocity-pressure formulation and eliminating the vorticity…
Variable viscosity arises in many flow scenarios, often imposing numerical challenges. Yet, discretisation methods designed specifically for non-constant viscosity are few, and their analysis is even scarcer. In finite element methods for…
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…
Odd viscosity is a transport coefficient that can occur when fluids experience breaking of parity and time-reversal symmetry. Previous knowledge indicates that cylinders in incompressible odd viscous fluids, under no-slip boundary…
Normalizing flows are a class of deep generative models that provide a promising route to sample lattice field theories more efficiently than conventional Monte Carlo simulations. In this work we show that the theoretical framework of…
We explain the construction of some solutions of the Stokes system with a given set of singular points, in the sense of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg. By means of a partial regularity theorem (proved elsewhere), it turns out that we are…

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…
