LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER
Drops in low Reynolds number flows THEORY: Stokes equations, multipole expansion, mobility of friction problems NUMERICAL CODE: non-deformable surfaces, up to hundred of spheres (solid, liquid or gas), infinite fluid or periodic boundary conditions or flat interface or two parallel flat interfaces EXPERIMENT: 3D particle tracking
