Modeling complex particle suspensions: Perspectives on the rigid multiblob method

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This Perspective highlights the rigid multiblob framework, a numerical method for modeling suspensions of complex-shaped particles influenced by hydrodynamics, thermal fluctuations, activity, and other interactions. This review illustrates the effectiveness and versatility of the method in tackling a wide range of physical problems in fluid mechanics, soft and active matter, biophysics, and colloidal science.
