    The method of regularized stokeslets (English)
    0 references
    This paper presents a numerical method for computing Stokes flows with immersed boundaries and obstacles. The method is based on the smoothing of forces, leading to regularized stokeslets. The resulting expressions give pressure and velocity fields as functions of the forcing. That the method is widely applicable, has been shown by studying various examples.
