  6. We introduce a high-order boundary integral method for simulating dense
  7. suspensions of rigid discs in a Stokesian fluid in 2D. Our method efficiently
  8. handles close-to-touching interactions down to distances of 1e-10 with only a
  9. coarse discretization of the boundary. Additionally, we present a
  10. preconditioner that significantly reduces the number of GMRES iterations
  11. required for solving the Stokes mobility problem at each time step. Coupled
  12. with high-order, adaptive time-stepping using spectral deferred correction, we
  13. are able to take larger time steps, mitigating the temporal stiffness resulting
  14. from close-to-touching interactions.
