Title: A numerical framework for phoretic particles

Abstract: We develop a numerical a framework to study phoretic particle dynamics in two dimensions. The particles are modeled as chemically active rigid circles, which can emit or absorb a solute into surrounding fluid. The interaction between particles and solute induces a slip flow on particle surfaces, and the solute is advected by the fluid flow and diffuses with a constant diffusivity. The fluid-structure interaction is resolved by a boundary integral method accelerated by Ewald-like decomposition. The sharp resolution of moving boundaries for solute kinetics is performed thanks to an overlapping mesh method. The framework is validated separately for the Stokes problem and the advection--diffusion problem, reaching relatively high order of accuracy. Moreover, we employ the framework to more general problems, including particles in nearly infinite domain and straight channels, and multiparticle motions.
