Low Reynolds number flow theory finds wide application in such diverse fields as sedimentation, fluidization, particle-size classification, dust and mist collection, filtration, centrifugation, polymer and suspension rheology, flow through porous media, colloid science, aerosol and hydrosal technology, lubrication theory, blood flow, Brownian motion, geophysics, meteorology, and a host of other disciplines. This text provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the physical and mathematical principles underlying such phenomena, heretofore available only in the original literature.read more

Fluid property sensors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a MEMS-based reservoir fluid sensor adapted for downhole conditions having a planar member machined from a substrate material, an electrical conductor formed at least partly on the planar members, and a gauge formed on the planner and adapted to measure a physical effect on the board, the physical effect being indicative of a property of a fluid in contact with the board.

Determination of Kozeny Constant Based on Porosity and Pore to Throat Size Ratio in Porous Medium with Rectangular Rods
TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of the KCE for the periodic porous media is investigated and the effects of porosity and pore to throat size ratio on Kozeny constant are studied and the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are solved to determine the velocity and pressure fields in the voids between the rods.

Surface physicochemical properties of Pseudomonas fluorescens and impact on adhesion and transport through porous media
TL;DR: The partial reversibility of adhesion upon ionic strength reduction supported the secondary minimum interaction hypothesis, suggesting that secondary energy minimum interactions governed initial attachment of cells.

Shear flow over a self-similar expanding pulmonary alveolus during rhythmical breathing
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of lung rhythmical expansion on gas mixing and aerosol dispersion and deposition can be studied using a fluid-mechanical model for an alveolated respiratory unit.

Formation and thermodynamic stability of a novel class of useful materials: Close-packed monolayers of submicron monodisperse spheres just below a polymer surface
G.J Kovacs,P.S Vincett +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model was proposed to explain the tendency for the particles to remain in a monolayer near the polymer surface; in this case, detailed calculations are limited to the case of a single sphere embedded in a polymer half-space, although it was shown that neighboring spheres tend to stabilize the equilibrium.
