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

Self-diffusion of particles in shear flow of a suspension
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-diffusion coefficient for lateral dispersion of spherical and disk-like particles in linear shear flow of a slurry at very low Reynolds number was determined experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gliding movement of and bidirectional transport along single native microtubules from squid axoplasm: evidence for an active role of microtubules in cytoplasmic transport.
TL;DR: This article proposes two models that might explain the observed phenomena and, by extension, the process of fast axoplasmic transport itself and has potential applications across the spectrum of microtubule-based motility processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
On techniques for the measurement of the mass fractal dimension of aggregates.
TL;DR: Of the scattering techniques available, light scattering provides the greatest potential for use as a tool for structure characterisation even though interpretation of the scattered intensity pattern is complicated by the strong interaction of light and matter.

Slippage of water over hydrophobic surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent developments in the hydrodynamics of water confined between solid hydrophobic surfaces, emphasizing the main experimental facts, theoretical models suggested, and different aspects of thin film drainage is discussed.

On optimum profiles in Stokes flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the first-order necessary optimality conditions of an optimal control problem for a distributed parameter system with geometric control were obtained for the minimum-drag problem in Stokes flow (flow at a very low Reynolds number).
