Convergence results for the immersed boundary method applied to a model Stokes problem with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition are presented. As a discretization method, we deal with the finite element method. First, the immersed…
The interaction of fibers in a viscous (Stokes) fluid plays a crucial role in industrial and biological processes, such as sedimentation, rheology, transport, cell division, and locomotion. Numerical simulations generally rely on slender…
In this paper we analyze the finite element approximation of the Stokes equations with non-smooth Dirichlet boundary data. To define the discrete solution, we first approximate the boundary datum by a smooth one and then apply a standard…
B-spline models are a powerful way to represent scientific data sets with a functional approximation. However, these models can suffer from spurious oscillations when the data to be approximated are not uniformly distributed. Model…
Inspired by the numerical immersed boundary method, we introduce regularized Stokes immersed boundary problems in two dimensions to describe regularized motion of a 1-D closed elastic string in a 2-D Stokes flow, in which a regularized…
The mobility of particles in fluid membranes is a fundamental aspect of many biological processes. In a 1975 paper [1], Saffman and Delbr\"uck demonstrated how the presence of external Stokesian solvents is crucial in regularising the…
Buckling plays a critical role in the transport and dynamics of elastic microfilaments in Stokesian fluids. However, previous work has only considered filaments with homogeneous structural properties. Filament backbone stiffness can be…
We consider two most studied standard models in the theory of elasto-plasticity with hardening in arbitrary dimension $d\ge 2$, namely, the kinematic hardening and the isotropic hardening problem. While the existence and uniqueness of the…
The motion of a freely rotating prolate spheroid in a simple shear flow of a dilute polymeric solution is examined in the limit of large particle aspect ratio, $\kappa$. A regular perturbation expansion in the polymer concentration, $c$, a…
The deformations of flagella are important in the motility of single- and multi-flagellated bacteria. Existing numerical methods have treated flagella as extensible filaments with a large extensional modulus, resulting in a stiff numerical…
In this article we consider regularizations of the Dirac delta distribution with applications to prototypical elliptic and hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). We study the convergence of a sequence of distributions…
We present a new procedural incompressible velocity field authoring tool, which lets users design a volumetric flow by directly specifying velocity along control curves. Our method combines the Method of Regularized Stokeslets with Galerkin…
The macroscopic properties of polymeric fluids are inherited from the material properties of the fibers embedded in the solvent. The behavior of such passive fibers in flow has been of interest in a wide range of systems, including cellular…
Elastic confinements play an important role in many soft matter systems and affect the transport properties of suspended particles in viscous flow. On the basis of low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics, we present an analytical theory of the…
Settling velocity statistics for dilute, non-Brownian suspensions of polydisperse spheres having a log-normal size distribution are analysed by Stokesian Dynamics, as a function of the total volume fraction and width of the size…
Accurate characterization of filamentary structures in star-forming clouds is essential for understanding star formation. Traditional methods fit observed surface density profiles $\Sigma(r)$ with slope $\gamma$ and width $H$ using the…
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…
Filaments are ubiquitous within the microscopic world. They occur frequently in both biological and industrial environments and display varied and rich dynamics. Their wide range of applications has spurred the development of a special…
We show that a very good analytical approximation of Saffman-Delbr\"uck's (SD) law (mobility of a bio-membrane inclusion) can be obtained easily from the velocity field produced by a pointlike force in a 2D fluid embedded in a solvent, by…
This paper recalls a partial differential equations system, which is the linearization of a recognized fluid-elasticity interaction three-dimensional model. A collection of regularity results for the traces of the fluid variable on the…
