Abstract

This article reviews the application of boundary integral methods to low Reynolds number free-boundary flows. The basic equations are developed for three prototypical problems: (i) a drop in an unbounded fluid, (ii) a rigid sphere translating towards a fluid-fluid interface, and (iii) a drop moving through an interface. The interfacial velocity field is expressed as a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, where the integration domain is the deforming interface. This velocity coupled with the kinematic condition determines the interface evolution. A brief discussion is given of the numerical treatment of the equations, and an illustration is given of time-dependent deformation for several two-interface problems. An extensive literature review is provided.
