Adaptive Swarming by Exploiting Hydrodynamic Interaction Based on Stokesian Dynamics Method

چکیده
This paper discusses a fully decentralized algorithm able to create an adaptive swarm of autonomous mobile robots from the viewpoint of “computational physics”. To this end, we particularly focus on “Stokesian Dynamics method”. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can control the shape of the swarm appropriately according to the current situation without losing the coherence of the swarm.

A Modified Stokesian Dynamics Method for Mineral Suspensions
A 3-dimensional modified Stokesian dynamics-based technique for simulating mineral particle suspensions is presented. Stokesian dynamics is a mesh free particle approach, which resembles the discrete element method. It includes hydrodynamic interactions and other interparticle forces. Expressions for the hydrodynamic interactions were modified based on results from finite element (FE) calculati...
متن کاملA Note on the Correspondence of an Immersed Boundary Method Incorporating Thermal Fluctuations with Stokesian-brownian Dynamics
Abstract. In this paper a direct correspondence is made between the effective stochastic dynamics of elastic structures of an Immersed Boundary Method incorporating thermal fluctuations and Stokesian-Brownian Dynamics. The correspondence is made in the limit of small Reynolds number, in which the fluid relaxes rapidly on the time scale of the motion of the immersed structures, by performing an ...
متن کاملModeling hydrodynamic self-propulsion with Stokesian Dynamics. Or teaching Stokesian Dynamics to swim
We develop a general framework for modeling the hydrodynamic self-propulsion (i.e., swimming) of bodies (e.g., microorganisms) at low Reynolds number via Stokesian Dynamics simulations. The swimming body is composed of many spherical particles constrained to form an assembly that deforms via relative motion of its constituent particles. The resistance tensor describing the hydrodynamic interact...
متن کاملA Stokesian Dynamics Approach for Simulation of Magnetic Particle Suspensions
The dynamic behaviour of μm-scale ferromagnetic particles in suspension is relevant for various mineral beneficiation processes. It is, however, difficult to experimentally study such processes at the particle-level. In these instances it can be advantageous to resort to suitable particle simulation methods. Stokesian dynamics is a mesh-free numerical technique developed for suspensions of nm t...
متن کاملMany-body hydrodynamic interactions in charge-stabilized suspensions.
In this joint experimental-theoretical work we study hydrodynamic interaction effects in dense suspensions of charged colloidal spheres. Using x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy we have determined the hydrodynamic function H(q), for a varying range of electrosteric repulsion. We show that H(q) can be quantitatively described by means of a novel Stokesian dynamics simulation method for charge...
