Introduction: Stokesian Dynamics

Stokesian Dynamics is an important tool developed by Brady and Bossis to carry out numerical simulations for suspensions of particles interacting through hydrodynamic, Brownian, inter particle and external forces. Stokesian dynamics is capable of handling both hydrodynamic and non-hydrodynamic forces in a simple way. There are numerous application of this method in examining suspension rheology and its properties. As the name suggests this method is applicable only for  low reynolds number simulation. The method has been verified for bounded suspensions simulatios but still needs to be developed for multilayer simulation. My present work focus on multilayer simulation of suspension inside a rotating cylider.
