We compute the first order correction of the effective viscosity for a suspension containing solid particles with arbitrary shapes. We rewrite the computation as an homogenization problem for the Stokes equations in a perforated domain.…
We study the convergence of the Method of Reflections for the Dirichlet problem of the Poisson and the Stokes equations in perforated domains which consist in the exterior of balls. We prove that the method converges if the balls are…
In this paper, we consider $N$ identical spherical particles sedimenting in a uniform gravitational field. Particle rotation is included in the model while inertia is neglected. Using the method of reflections, we extend the investigation…
It is vital important in material sciences and fluid mechanics to study the field enhancements in the narrow region between two inclusions. Complex fluids including particle suspensions usually result in complicated flow behavior. In this…
We prove a local variant of Einstein's formula for the effective viscosity of dilute suspensions, that is $\mu^\prime=\mu (1+\frac 5 2\phi+o(\phi))$, where $\phi$ is the volume fraction of the suspended particles. Up to now rigorous…
Consider a colloidal suspension of rigid particles in a steady Stokes flow. In a celebrated work, Einstein argued that in the regime of dilute particles the system behaves at leading order like a Stokes fluid with some explicit effective…
This work develops a quantitative homogenization theory for random suspensions of rigid particles in a steady Stokes flow, and completes recent qualitative results. More precisely, we establish a large-scale regularity theory for this…
We consider $N$ identical inertialess rigid spherical particles in a Stokes flow in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$. We study the average sedimentation velocity of the particles when an identical force acts on each particle. If the…
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…
We provide a mathematical analysis of the effective viscosity of suspensions of spherical particles in a Stokes flow, at low solid volume fraction $\phi$. Our objective is to go beyond the Einstein's approximation…
We prove the convergence of a particle method for the approximation of diffusive gradient flows in one dimension. This method relies on the discretisation of the energy via non-overlapping balls centred at the particles and preserves the…
We investigate the sedimentation of a cloud of rigid, spherical particles of identical radii under gravity in a Stokes fluid. Both inertia and rotation of particles are neglected. We consider the homogenization limit of many small particles…
We study suspensions of solid particles in a viscous incompressible fluid in the presence of highly oscillatory velocity-dependent surface forces. The flow at a small Reynolds number is modeled by the Stokes equations coupled with the…
This paper studies the convergence rates in $L^2$ and $H^1$ of Neumann problems for Stokes systems with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, without any smoothness assumptions on the coefficients.
A stable numerical solution of the steady Stokes problem requires compatibility between the choice of velocity and pressure approximation that has traditionally proven problematic for meshless methods. In this work, we present a…
In this paper, we establish the estimates for the gradient and the second-order partial derivatives for the Stokes flow in the presence of two closely located strictly convex inclusions in dimension three. Moreover, the blow-up rate of the…
This paper aims at reviewing and analysing the method of reflections. The latter is an iterative procedure designed to linear boundary value problems set in multiply connected domains. Being based on a decomposition of the domain boundary,…
Problems of particle dynamics involving unsteady Stokes flows in confined geometries are typically harder to solve than their steady counterparts. Approximation techniques are often the only resort. Felderhof (see e.g. 2005, 2009b) has…
This work is devoted to the definition and the analysis of the effective viscosity associated with a random suspension of small rigid particles in a steady Stokes fluid. While previous works on the topic have been conveniently assuming that…
We derive a compatible discretization method that relies heavily on the underlying geometric structure, and obeys the topological sequences and commuting properties that are constructed. As a sample problem we consider the…
