This paper presents a computational approach for finding the optimal shapes of peristaltic pumps transporting rigid particles in Stokes flow. In particular, we consider shapes that minimize the rate of energy dissipation while pumping a prescribed volume of fluid, number of particles, and/or distance traversed by the particles over a set time period. Our approach relies on a recently developed fast and accurate boundary integral solver for simulating multiphase flows through periodic geometries of arbitrary shapes. In order to fully capitalize on the dimensionality reduction feature of the boundary integral methods, shape sensitivities must ideally involve evaluating the physical variables on the particle or pump boundaries only. We show that this can indeed be accomplished owing to the linearity of Stokes flow. The forward problem solves for the particle motion in a slip-driven pipe flow while the adjoint problems in our construction solve quasi-static Dirichlet boundary value problems backwards in time, retracing the particle evolution. The shape sensitivities simply depend on the solution of one forward and one adjoint (for each shape functional) problems. We validate these analytic shape derivative formulas by comparing against finite-difference based gradients and present several examples showcasing optimal pump shapes under various constraints.

Abstract: We present a spectrally accurate scheme to turn a boundary integral formulation for an elliptic PDE on a single unit cell geometry into one for the fully periodic problem. The basic idea is to use a small least squares solve to enforce periodic boundary conditions without ever handling periodic Green's functions. We describe fast solvers for the two‐dimensional (2D) doubly periodic conduction problem and Stokes nonslip fluid flow problem, where the unit cell contains many inclusions with smooth boundaries. Applications include computing the effective bulk properties of composite media (homogenization) and microfluidic chip design. We split the infinite sum over the lattice of images into a directly summed “near” part plus a small number of auxiliary sources that represent the (smooth) remaining “far” contribution. Applying physical boundary conditions on the unit cell walls gives an expanded linear system, which, after a rank‐1 or rank‐3 correction and a Schur complement, leaves a well‐conditioned square system that can be solved iteratively using fast multipole acceleration plus a low‐rank term. We are rather explicit about the consistency and nullspaces of both the continuous and discretized problems. The scheme is simple (no lattice sums, Ewald methods, or particle meshes are required), allows adaptivity, and is essentially dimension‐ and PDE‐independent, so it generalizes without fuss to 3D and to other elliptic problems. In order to handle close‐to‐touching geometries accurately we incorporate recently developed spectral quadratures. We include eight numerical examples and a software implementation. We validate against high‐accuracy results for the square array of discs in Laplace and Stokes cases (improving upon the latter), and show linear scaling for up to 10

In this paper, we develop a new boundary integral equation formulation that describes the coupled electro- and hydro-dynamics of a vesicle suspended in a viscous fluid and subjected to external flow and electric fields. The dynamics of the vesicle are characterized by a competition between the elastic, electric and viscous forces on its membrane. The classical Taylor–Melcher leaky-dielectric model is employed for the electric response of the vesicle and the Helfrich energy model combined with local inextensibility is employed for its elastic response. The coupled governing equations for the vesicle position and its transmembrane electric potential are solved using a numerical method that is spectrally accurate in space and first-order in time. The method uses a semi-implicit time-stepping scheme to overcome the numerical stiffness associated with the governing equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: We extend [Shravan K. Veerapaneni, Denis Gueyffier, Denis Zorin, George Biros, A boundary integral method for simulating the dynamics of inextensible vesicles suspended in a viscous fluid in 2D, Journal of Computational Physics 228(7) (2009) 2334–2353] to the case of three-dimensional axisymmetric vesicles of spherical or toroidal topology immersed in viscous flows. Although the main components of the algorithm are similar in spirit to the 2D case—spectral approximation in space, semi-implicit time-stepping scheme—the main differences are that the bending and viscous force require new analysis, the linearization for the semi-implicit schemes must be rederived, a fully implicit scheme must be used for the toroidal topology to eliminate a CFL-type restriction and a novel numerical scheme for the evaluation of the 3D Stokes single layer potential on an axisymmetric surface is necessary to speed up the calculations. By introducing these novel components, we obtain a time-scheme that experimentally is unconditionally stable, has low cost per time step, and is third-order accurate in time. We present numerical results to analyze the cost and convergence rates of the scheme. To verify the solver, we compare it to a constrained variational approach to compute equilibrium shapes that does not involve interactions with a viscous fluid. To illustrate the applicability of method, we consider a few vesicle-flow interaction problems: the sedimentation of a vesicle, interactions of one and three vesicles with a background Poiseuille flow.

Abstract: We present a new method for the evolution of inextensible vesicles immersed in a Stokesian fluid. We use a boundary integral formulation for the fluid that results in a set of nonlinear integro-differential equations for the vesicle dynamics. The motion of the vesicles is determined by balancing the non-local hydrodynamic forces with the elastic forces due to bending and tension. Numerical simulations of such vesicle motions are quite challenging. On one hand, explicit time-stepping schemes suffer from a severe stability constraint due to the stiffness related to high-order spatial derivatives and a milder constraint due to a transport-like stability condition. On the other hand, an implicit scheme can be expensive because it requires the solution of a set of nonlinear equations at each time step. We present two semi-implicit schemes that circumvent the severe stability constraints on the time step and whose computational cost per time step is comparable to that of an explicit scheme. We discretize the equations by using a spectral method in space, and a multistep third-order accurate scheme in time. We use the fast multipole method (FMM) to efficiently compute vesicle–vesicle interaction forces in a suspension with a large number of vesicles. We report results from numerical experiments that demonstrate the convergence and algorithmic complexity properties of our scheme. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

We present a new derivation of a boundary integral equation (BIE) for simulating the three-dimensional dynamics of arbitrarily-shaped rigid particles of genus zero immersed in a Stokes fluid, on which are prescribed forces and torques. Our method is based on a single-layer representation and leads to a simple second-kind integral equation. It avoids the use of auxiliary sources within each particle that play a role in some classical formulations. We use a spectrally accurate quadrature scheme to evaluate the corresponding layer potentials, so that only a small number of spatial discretization points per particle are required. The resulting discrete sums are computed in O ( n ) time, where n denotes the number of particles, using the fast multipole method (FMM). The particle positions and orientations are updated by a high-order time-stepping scheme. We illustrate the accuracy, conditioning and scaling of our solvers with several numerical examples.

• A spectrally-accurate close evaluation scheme for Stokes boundary integral operators. • Adaptive panel refinement for arbitrarily shaped boundaries. • Graded meshes to treat corners. • Example problems from microfluidic chip design and vascular network flows. We present a fast, high-order accurate and adaptive boundary integral scheme for solving the Stokes equations in complex—possibly nonsmooth—geometries in two dimensions. We apply the panel-based quadratures of Helsing and coworkers to evaluate to high accuracy the weakly-singular, hyper-singular, and super-singular integrals arising in the Nyström discretization, and also the near-singular integrals needed for flow and traction evaluation close to boundaries. The resulting linear system is solved iteratively via calls to a Stokes fast multipole method. We include an automatic algorithm to "panelize" a given geometry, and choose a panel order, which will efficiently approximate the density (and hence solution) to a user-prescribed tolerance. We show that this adaptive panel refinement procedure works well in practice even in the case of complex geometries with large number of corners, or close-to-touching smooth curves. In one example, for instance, a model 2D vascular network with 378 corners required less than 200K discretization points to obtain a 9-digit solution accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
