When elastic fibers are immersed in a Newtonian fluid, the behavior of the system, or the fiber suspension becomes non-Newtonian. Understanding the dynamics of such systems is of particular interest in a wide variety of fields, including locomotion of microorganisms, paper and pulp industry, microfluidics etc. When these fibers are immersed in the fluid at low Reynolds number, the elastic equation for the fibers couples to the Stokes equations, which greatly increases the computational complexi ...
