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

Hydrodynamic interaction of a spherical particle with a planar boundary: II. Hard wall
G.S. Perkins,R.B. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed the grand resistance and mobility matrices for a hard sphere moving in an incompressible viscous fluid bounded by a hard wall and gave explicit series expansions for these functions in inverse powers of the normal distance from the sphere centre to the wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
A numerical approach to study the impact of packing density on fluid flow distribution in hollow fiber module
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the finite element method was used to simulate numerically the flow and filtration velocity along the fiber and an annular region of fluid surrounding the fiber was considered in order to account for the packing density Φ of the module.

Expression of Fluid from Biological Solids
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if gas pressure acts on a soft cake whose pores are so fine that capillary "suction" pressure exceeds the applied pressure, the gas won't displace fluid directly, but the pressure will compact the cake and express fluid.

A Lagrangian VOF tensorial penalty method for the DNS of resolved particle-laden flows
Stéphane Vincent,Jorge César Brändle de Motta,Arthur Sarthou,Jean-Luc Estivalezes,Olivier Simonin,Eric Climent +5 more
TL;DR: The direct numerical simulation of particle flows is investigated by a Lagrangian VOF approach and penalty methods of second order convergence in space for incompressible flows interacting with resolved particles on a fixed structured grid with success.

The Collision Cross Sections of Iodide Salt Cluster Ions in Air via Differential Mobility Analysis-Mass Spectrometry
TL;DR: It is found that predictions from diffuse-inelastic collision models agree well with measurements from sodium iodide cluster ions, while specular-elastic collision model predictions are in better agreement with cesium iodides cluster ion measurements.
