Locally corrected semi-Lagrangian methods for Stokes flow with moving elastic interfaces
Abstract
We present a new method for computing two-dimensional Stokes flow with moving interfaces
that respond elastically to stretching. The interface is moved by semi-Lagrangian
contouring: a distance function is introduced on a tree of cells near the interface,
transported by a semi-Lagrangian time step and then used to contour the new interface.
The velocity field in a periodic box is calculated as a potential integral resulting
from interfacial and body forces, using a technique based on Ewald summation with
analytically derived local corrections. The interfacial stretching is found from a
surprisingly natural formula. A test problem with an exact solution is constructed
and used to verify the speed, accuracy and robustness of the approach. © 2007 Elsevier
