Minisymposium Title: Numerical Methods for Low Reynolds Number Suspensions of Passive and Active Particles

Minisymposium Description: The dynamics of suspensions of rigid or flexible micron-scale particles that are either passive or active (self-propelled) is of great technological and biological interest. A number of numerical methods for modeling of periodic suspensions of Brownian spherical particles have been developed over the years; fewer methods exist capable of simulating suspensions of particles of more complex shapes in confined geometries. Of particular interest are methods that address active suspensions, the incorporation Brownian motion, and self-assembly. Focus will be on the development of mathematical and computational tools, but relevant scientific applications are also of interest.
