32 Many-body solution The net flow is a superposition of flow due to each particle, because of linearity of the Stokes equation v = N X m=1 vm(r, Rm) The presence of n-th particle changes the boundary condition on m-th particle. And hence the traction and velocity boundary condition has to be satisfied simultaneously. This means a large systems of linear equations which must be solved simultaneously to obtain the irreducible coefficients and hence the RBM of the many active particles.

59 • Formalism for studying hydrodynamic interactions between active colloids that does not need explicit fluid degrees of freedom. Result is expressed in terms of familiar mobility matrices and newly introduced propulsion matrices. • As fluid degrees of freedom are not needed, orders of magnitude more particles can be simulated, e. g. 10^4 particles in harmonic trap. Fast summation methods can increase this to 10^6 and beyond. • Formalism can be extended easily to active colloidal flows near a single wall, between parallel walls, and in periodic volumes. • A complete and tractable microscopic model for active matter.
