Description
Summary:This paper focuses on the numerical study of spherical particle sedimentation, taking into account hydrodynamic interactions. Infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filters, specially tailored to solve the sedimentation dynamics, were used in the present study to numerically solve the coupled ordinary differential equations with the time-dependent coefficients of the problem. Hydrodynamic interactions are modeled using the Rotne–Prager–Yamakawa (RPY) approximation, to which a correction is made to better account for short-range interactions. In order to validate both the proposed numerical resolution method and the RPY correction, this paper begins with the study of two interacting spherical particle sedimentation methods. Comparisons with previously published analytical or numerical results confirm the relevance of the present approach.
