Thursday, March 20, 2014 - 3:30 pm Accelerated Boundary Integral Simulations of Particulate and Two-Phase Flows Anna-Karin Tornberg, Professor of Numerical Analysis at the KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY , Stockholm, Sweden. In micro-fluidic applications where the scales are small and viscous effects dominant, the Stokes equations are often applicable. The suspension dynamics of fluids with immersed rigid particles and fibers are very complex also in this Stokesian regime, and surface tension effects are strongly pronounced at interfaces of immiscible fluids.  Simulation methods can be developed based on boundary integral equations, which leads to discretizations of the boundaries of the domain only, and hence fewer unknowns compared to a discretization of the PDE. Two main challenges associated with boundary integral discretizations are to construct accurate quadrature methods for singular and nearly singular integrands, as ...
