Low Reynolds number hydrodynamics

TLDR
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, and a host of other disciplines.
Abstract
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.

Shrinkage of silica gels aged in TEOS

TL;DR: In this article, a model was developed for predicting the shrinkage that occurs during drying, given knowledge of the initial pore size and modulus of the gel, which is in good agreement with experimental results for silica gels given a variety of aging treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hamster sperm penetration of the zona pellucida: kinematic analysis and mechanical implications.

TL;DR: Observations and analysis support the concept that zona penetration is more efficient when the cumulus is present, and that this may be due, in part, to a mechanical advantage conferred upon the sperm by thecumulus material.

Motion of a deformable capsule through a hyperbolic constriction

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the low-Reynolds-number flow of a capsule through a constriction is developed for either constant-flow-rate or constant-pressure-drop conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The rheology of concentrated suspensions of arbitrarily-shaped particles.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved effective medium theory is proposed to obtain the concentration dependence of the viscosity of particle suspensions at arbitrary volume fractions, which can be applied to any particle shape as long as the intrinsic viscosities is known in the dilute limit and the particles are not too elongated.

The viscoelastic properties of ordered latices: a self-consistent field theory

TL;DR: In this article, a self-consistent field model was proposed to predict both equilibrium and transport properties for ordered monodisperse latices, and the results for the dielectric permittivity and dynamic viscosity account only for the first-order effect of volume fraction.
