| Description |
In this paper we present the results of a numerical simulation of the
dynamics of a periodically forced spherical particle in a quiescent Newtonian
fluid at low Reynolds number. We describe the simulation and tests performed
to validate our simulation. We have obtained results which are physically
reasonable and hence we have confidence in our results. We include the effects
of both convective and unsteady inertia on the dynamics at low Reynolds
numbers. The inclusion of inertia results in additional linear and nonlinear
terms in the equations representing a fading memory of the entire history of the
motion. The nonlinearity though small in the parametric regime of interest,
gives rise to some interesting features in the solution of the problem.
