Anomalous effect of turning off long-range mobility interactions in Stokesian Dynamics

Abstract
- In Stokesian Dynamics, particles are assumed to interact in two ways: through long-range mobility interactions and through short-range lubrication interactions. To speed up computations, in shear-driven concentrated suspensions, often found in rheometric contexts, it is common to consider only lubrication. We show that, although this approximation may provide acceptable results in shear-driven, periodic suspensions, for bidisperse suspensions where the particles are exposed to an external force, it can produce physically unreasonable results. We suggest that this problem could be mitigated by a careful choice of particle pairs on which lubrication interactions should be included.<br />Comment: 17 pages, 12 figures
