PyStokes: phoresis and Stokesian hydrodynamics in Python [PDF]
Journal of Open Source Software, 2020 We present a modular Python library for computing many-body hydrodynamic and phoretic interactions between spherical active particles in suspension, when these are given by solutions of the Stokes and Laplace equations. Underpinning the library is a grid-free methodology that combines dimensionality reduction, spectral expansion, and Ritz-Galerkin ...
