Many biological fluids are composed of suspended polymers immersed in a viscous fluid. A prime example is mucus, where the polymers are also known to form a network. While the presence of this microstructure is linked with an overall non-Newtonian re... Read More about Undulatory swimming in suspensions and networks of flexible filaments.

Stokesian Dynamics in Python (2024)
Journal Article
Townsend, A. (2024). Stokesian Dynamics in Python. The Journal of Open Source Software, 9(94), Article 6011. https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.06011

This is a Python 3 implementation of the Stokesian Dynamics method for polydisperse spheres suspended in a 3D Newtonian background fluid. The fluid-filled domain may be unbounded or a periodic cube. Physical setups and custom forces on the particles... Read More about Stokesian Dynamics in Python.
