A thermal convection flow in the three-dimensional unbounded fluid domain exterior to a sphere is considered. The viscosity force is determined by a fractional power of the Stokes operator. A purely conductive steady state arises due to the…
Rigid particles in a Stokesian fluid can physically not overlap, as a thin layer of fluid always separates a particle pair, exerting increasingly strong repulsive forces on the bodies for decreasing separations. Numerically, resolving these…
