The boundary integral method (BIM) is a numerical technique widely used in computational physics and engineering to solve boundary value problems. The core principle of BIM is to convert the governing partial differential equation into an equivalent integral equation. One of the significant advantages of BIM is that it avoids the need for meshing the entire problem domain. Instead, it focuses only on the boundary or surface, leading to significant computational savings. Additionally, the method naturally handles problems with complex geometries and irregular boundaries. In this talk I will present the formulation of the Boundary Integral Method for Stokes flow. A simple numerical implementation will be compared against the known results from Stokesian Dynamics.
