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

The effect of microstructure on the rheological properties of blood.
C. K. Kang,A. C. Eringen +1 more
TL;DR: The micromorphic theory of Eringen is applied to study the tube flow of blood and indicates an integrated explanation of various important physical phenomena associated with blood flow, such as the tube size dependence of the apparent viscosity and the non-uniform concentration distribution over a tube cross section.

Hydrodynamic interaction in confined geometries
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of recent theoretical and experimental findings concerning the hydrodynamic interaction between liquid-embedded particles in various confined geometries is given, and a simple unifying description emerges, which accounts for the various findings based on the effect of confinement on conserved fields of the embedding liquid.

Many-particle hydrodynamic interactions in parallel-wall geometry: Cartesian-representation method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the hydrodynamic interactions in a suspension of spherical particles confined between two parallel planar walls, under creeping-flow conditions, and propose a novel algorithm for accurate evaluation of the many-particle friction matrix in this system.
