Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we describe an efficient numerical method for modelling oscillatory incompressible slip Stokes flows in three dimensions. The efficiency is achieved by employing an integral approach combined with an accelerated boundary‐element‐method (BEM) solver. First the integral representations for slip flows with two different slip models are formulated. The resulting integral equations are then solved using the BEM combined with the precorrected‐FFT accelerated technique. 3D numerical codes have been developed based on the method described above. These codes are then used to calculate the drag forces on oscillating objects immersed in an unbounded slip flow. Three objects are considered, namely a sphere, a pair of plates and a comb structure. The simulated drag forces on these objects obtained from the two slip models are compared. In the sphere case, the simulated results are also compared with the analytical solutions for both the steady‐state case and the no‐slip oscillatory case and are found to be in good agreement. In addition, qualitative comparison of the simulation results with the experimental results in the plate problem is also presented in this paper. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
