Ewald summing irreducible components of flow around active particles

Abstract

We present a method to compute Ewald summation for the irreducible components of flow around active particles to study hydrodynamic interactions in active colloidal suspensions. An active particle is modeled as a colloidal sphere with a surface slip velocity. Using this model, we obtain an irreducible representation of the fluid flow produced by an active particle in periodic geometry of Stokes flow for an arbitrary surface slip. The solution of the active flow is obtained in terms of lattice sum of the Oseen tensor and their derivatives. The lattice sum is accelerated using the Ewald summation technique. We apply the method to compute explicit expression for rigid body motion of hydrodynamically interacting active particles. Our method presents a way for dynamic simulation of active particles due to arbitrary mode of active slip in periodic geometry of Stokes flow.
