This code generates the Force Coupling Method mobility matrix, to create the two-body resistance functions, as well as the order one corrections to the near-field forms of the two-body lubrication resistance functions, given by Jeffrey & Onishii (1984) and Jeffrey (1992). We are grateful to Eric Keaveny and Kyongmin Yeo, who developed early C++ versions of this code. The analytical forms of the resistance functions come from: D. J. Jeffrey. "The calculation of the low Reynolds number resistance functions for two unequal spheres." Phys. Fluids A Fluid Dyn., 4(1):16–29, Jan 1992. doi: 10.1063/1.858494 and D. J. Jeffrey and Y. Onishi." Calculation of the resistance and mobility functions for two unequal rigid spheres in low-Reynolds-number flow." J. Fluid Mech., 139:261, Feb 1984. doi: 10.1017/S0022112084000355. We acknowledge the funding from the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship under Award No. DGE 1058262.
