Abstract:

An efficient parallel Stokes' solver has been developed for complete description of hydrodynamic interactions between Brownian particles in bulk and confined geometries. A Langevin description of the particle dynamics is adopted, where the long-range interactions are included using a Green's function formalism. A scalable parallel computational approach is presented, where the general geometry Stokeslet is calculated following a matrix-free algorithm using the general geometry Ewald-like method. Our approach employs a highly efficient iterative finite-element Stokes' solver for the accurate treatment of long-range hydrodynamic interactions in arbitrary confined geometries. A combination of mid-point time integration of the Brownian stochastic differential equation, the parallel Stokes' solver, and a Chebyshev polynomial approximation for the fluctuation-dissipation theorem leads to an O(N) parallel algorithm. We illustrate the new algorithm in the context of the dynamics of confined polymer solutions under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions. The method is then extended to treat suspended finite size particles of arbitrary shape in any geometry using an immersed boundary approach.
