Transport and mixing in Stokes flow: The effect of chaotic dynamics on the blinking stokeslet (English)
0 references
The authors discuss mixing and transport processes associated with slow viscous flows in context of a blinking stokeslet above a plane rigid boundary. The motivation of the problem comes from feeding currents due to cilia or flagella in sessile micro-organisms. The authors also indicate other applications in physiological fluid mechanics where eddy motions occur including enhanced mixing in bolus flow between red blood cells, peristaltic motion, and airflow in alveoli.
