Numerical Determination of Truncation Orders in the Correction Method for Stokes Equations

Abstract

In [15], the authors propose an accurate method, namely the correction method, for computing hydrodynamic interaction between very closed spherical particles in a Stokes uid. The accuracy of this method depends on two truncation parameters for approximating the Neumann to Dirichlet matrix and the velocity correction respectively. In this paper, we establish a numerical determination to estimate these parameters. We perform some numerical experiments to present our method.
