The lubrication forces for $ N$ (all) particles The lubrication forces for $ N$ (all) particles

$\displaystyle \bm{F} = \bm{L} \cdot \bm{U} ,$ (6.1)

is calculated by

$\displaystyle {\tt calc\_lub\_\langle d\rangle\langle ver\rangle\ (sys, u, f)} ,$ (6.2)

which is called by the top-level function

$\displaystyle {\tt solve\_\langle type\rangle\_lub\_\langle d\rangle\langle ver\rangle\ ()} ,$ (6.3)

for mobility, resistance, and mixed problems (type) in 2- and 3-dimensions (d) with F, FT, and FTS versions (ver).

The function $ {\tt calc\_lub\_\langle d\rangle\langle ver\rangle\ ()}$ has particle-loops. Under the periodic boundary condition, particles in the image cells are also taken into account.

In the loop for particle-particle pairs, either

$\displaystyle {\tt calc\_lub\_\langle ver\rangle\_2b()}$ (6.4)

for monodisperse system or

$\displaystyle {\tt calc\_lub\_\langle ver\rangle\_2b\_poly()}$ (6.5)

for polydisperse system is called.
