.. include:: /reference.txt ################## Governing Equation ################## We consider a two-dimensional domain where a circular solid particle whose radius is :math:`\dim{a}` is positioned at the center. Hereafter :math:`\dim{q}` denotes that the variable :math:`q` is dimensional (i.e., not non-dimensionalized), and vice versa. The motion of liquid is governed by the incompressibility constraint: .. math:: \pder{}{\dim{u}_i}{\dim{x}_i} = 0 as well as the momentum balance for Newtonian liquids: .. math:: \dim{\rho} \left( \pder{}{\dim{u}_i}{\dim{t}} + \dim{u}_j \pder{}{\dim{u}_i}{\dim{x}_j} \right) = \pder{}{\dim{\sigma}_{ij}}{\dim{x}_j} = - \pder{}{\dim{p}}{\dim{x}_i} + \dim{\mu} \pder{}{}{\dim{x}_j} \pder{}{\dim{u}_i}{\dim{x}_j}. The particle emits a solute, which is transported into the liquid. In particular, the concentration of the solute (mass per unit area) follows the advection-diffusion equation: .. math:: \pder{}{\dim{c}}{\dim{t}} + \dim{u}_j \pder{}{\dim{c}}{\dim{x}_j} = \dim{D} \pder{}{}{\dim{x}_j} \pder{}{\dim{c}}{\dim{x}_j}, where :math:`\dim{D}` is the diffusivity of the solute. On the particle surface, we request the emission rate of the solute to be constant: .. math:: \dim{E} \equiv - \dim{D} \vat{ \pder{}{\dim{c}}{\dim{\vr}} }{\dim{r} = \dim{a}} = const., which serves as a radial boundary condition with respect to the concentration field. In the tangential direction, a slip velocity is prescribed: .. math:: \vat{ \dim{\ut} }{\dim{r} = \dim{a}} = \dim{M} \vat{ \frac{1}{\dim{\vr}} \pder{}{\dim{c}}{\dim{\vt}} }{\dim{r} = \dim{a}}, where :math:`\dim{M}` is called mobility. The particle experiences hydrodynamic force exerted by the surround liquid, which is governed by the Newton-Euler equation: .. math:: & \dim{\rho} \pi \dim{a}^2 \der{}{\dim{v}_i}{\dim{t}} = \oint \dim{\sigma}_{ij} n_j d\dim{l}, & \frac{1}{2} \dim{\rho} \pi \dim{a}^4 \der{}{\dim{\omega}_i}{\dim{t}} = \oint \epsilon_{ijk} \dim{r}_j \dim{\sigma}_{kl} n_l d\dim{l}, where we assume the particle is neutrally-buoyant. :math:`\dim{v}_i` and :math:`\dim{\omega}_i` denote the translational and rotational velocity, and the right-hand-side integrals are applied to the interface along the particle. Normalized equations are .. math:: \pder{}{u_i}{x_i} = 0, .. math:: \rho \left( \pder{}{u_i}{t} + u_j \pder{}{u_i}{x_j} \right) = \frac{\dim{\mu} \dim{D}}{\dim{\rho} \dim{E} \dim{M} \dim{a}} \left( - \pder{}{p}{x_i} + \pder{}{}{x_j} \pder{}{u_i}{x_j} \right), .. math:: \pder{}{c}{t} + u_j \pder{}{c}{x_j} = \frac{\dim{\rho} \dim{D}}{\dim{E} \dim{a}} \frac{\dim{D}}{\dim{\rho} \dim{M}} \pder{}{}{x_j} \pder{}{c}{x_j}, with the corresponding boundary conditions on the particle: .. math:: \vat{ \pder{}{c}{\vr} }{r = 1} = - \frac{\dim{E} \dim{a}}{\dim{\rho} \dim{D}}, .. math:: \vat{ \ut }{r = 1} = \frac{\dim{\rho} \dim{D}}{\dim{E} \dim{a}} \vat{ \frac{1}{\vr} \pder{}{c}{\vt} }{r = 1}. The non-dimensional Newton-Euler equation leads to .. math:: & \rho \pi a^2 \der{}{v_i}{t} = \frac{\dim{\mu} \dim{D}}{\dim{\rho} \dim{E} \dim{M} \dim{a}} \oint \sigma_{ij} n_j dl, & \frac{1}{2} \rho \pi a^4 \der{}{\omega_i}{t} = \frac{\dim{\mu} \dim{D}}{\dim{\rho} \dim{E} \dim{M} \dim{a}} \oint \epsilon_{ijk} r_j \sigma_{kl} n_l dl. Note that we adopt :math:`\dim{a}` and :math:`\dim{E} \dim{M} / \dim{D}` as reference length and velocity scales to obtain the non-dimensional relations (|HU2019|). In this project, we assume that the Reynolds number is sufficiently small so that the inertial effects on the momentum transport can be neglected. By fixing the non-dimensional flux to be unity (which does not loss the generality), we obtain a set of equations governing the whole system: .. math:: \pder{}{u_i}{x_i} = 0, .. math:: 0_i = - \pder{}{p}{x_i} + \pder{}{}{x_j} \pder{}{u_i}{x_j}, .. math:: \pder{}{c}{t} + u_j \pder{}{c}{x_j} = \frac{1}{Pe} \pder{}{}{x_j} \pder{}{c}{x_j}, with the corresponding boundary conditions on the particle: .. math:: \vat{ \pder{}{c}{\vr} }{r = 1} = - 1, .. math:: \vat{ \ut }{r = 1} = \vat{ \frac{1}{\vr} \pder{}{c}{\vt} }{r = 1}. Note that the Newton-Euler equation in the limit of :math:`Re \rightarrow 0` leads to .. math:: 0_i = \oint \sigma_{ij} n_j dl, 0_i = \oint \epsilon_{ijk} r_j \sigma_{kl} n_l dl, implying that the swimming particle (in the absence of external forces) is force-free and torque-free (|LAUGA2020|). ************** Velocity Field ************** Here we elaborate the velocity field. To begin, we set a wall at :math:`\vr = R`. The wall and the particle satisfy the impermeability condition: .. math:: \vat{\ur}{\vr = 1} = \vat{\ur}{\vr = R} = 0. On the inner wall, again, a slip velocity is enforced: .. math:: \vat{\ut}{\vr = 1} = \vat{ \frac{1}{r} \pder{}{c}{\vt} }{\vr = 1}, whereas the outer wall follows the no-slip condition: .. math:: \vat{\ut}{\vr = R} = 0. Since the Stokes equation is a pure boundary-value problem, the entire flow field is uniquely determined once the boundary conditions are given. In particular, the solution can be conveniently expressed using the stream function :math:`\psi \left( \vr, \vt, t \right)`, given by: .. math:: \psi \left( \vr, \vt, t \right) = \sum_k \Psi_k \left( \vr, t \right) \expp{I k \vt}, where :math:`I` is the imaginary unit, and :math:`\Psi_k` is the stream function in the frequency space. Because of :math:`\psi \in \mathbb{R}`, :math:`\Psi_k` satisfies the complex-conjugate property, and thus it is sufficient to consider :math:`k \ge 0`. As derived in :ref:`the appendix `, this is given by .. math:: \Psi_k = \begin{cases} k = 0 & \text{unused}, \\ k = 1 & A_1 \vr^{-1} + B_1 \vr + E_1 \vr \log \vr + D_1 \vr^3, \\ \text{otherwise} & A_k \vr^{-k} + B_k \vr^k + C_k \vr^{2 - k} + D_k \vr^{2 + k}, \end{cases} where the coefficients :math:`A_k, B_k, C_k, D_k, E_1` are determined using the boundary conditions at :math:`\vr = 1` and :math:`\vr = R`. Assuming that :math:`R` is infinity, we request :math:`B_k, E_1, D_k` to be zero so that the solution converges, leading to .. math:: \Psi_k = A_k \vr^{-k} + C_k \vr^{2 - k}. By imposing the boundary conditions at :math:`\vr = 1`: .. math:: \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ - k & 2 - k \\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} A_k \\ C_k \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ - \left( U_{\vt}^s \right)_k, \end{pmatrix} we obtain .. math:: \Psi_k \left( \vr, t \right) = \frac{1 - \vr^2}{2 \vr^{k}} \left( U_{\vt}^s \right)_k. In the above equation, :math:`U_{\vt}^s` is the azimuthal velocity along the particle surface, expressed in the frequency domain: .. math:: \left( U_{\vt}^s \right)_k = I k C_k^s, or in the physical space: .. math:: \vat{\ut}{r = 1} = \vat{ \frac{1}{\vr} \pder{}{\ut}{\vt} }{ r = 1 }. :math:`C_k^s` represents the concentration field on the particle surface (at :math:`\vr = 1`) in the frequency domain: .. math:: c \left( \vr = 1, \vt, t \right) = \sum_k C_k^s \expp{I k \vt}. ******************* Concentration Field ******************* In addition to the constant-flux condition on the particle: .. math:: \vat{\pder{}{c}{\vr}}{\vr = 1} = -1, we impose the Dirichlet condition on the outer boundary: .. math:: \vat{c}{\vr = R} = 0. In practice, we set :math:`R` to a finite value, which mismatches with the obtained stream function derived under the assumption that :math:`R \to \infty`. This contradiction is originated by the fact that no analytical solution is available due to the non-linear term in the advection-diffusion equation. We assume, nevertheless, that the approximation remains sufficiently accurate for large values of :math:`R`.
