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

Decrease in hydraulic conductivity and particle release associated with self-filtration in saturated soil columns
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of the process of self-filtration in soil columns have been evaluated for two soils with different structural cohesion (Balkuling agricultural soil and a mining residue) by carrying out experiments focusing on microscopic particle behaviour during filtration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical comparison of magnetic and hydrodynamic interactions between magnetically tagged particles in microfluidic systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the magnetic and hydrodynamic interactions between magnetic beads in microfluidic magnetic field gradient filters and found that the hyddynamic interactions are of a longer range and dominate the magnetic ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Martensitic transition in a confined colloidal suspension
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a nonequilibrium phase transition in a geometrically confined charge-stabilized colloidal suspension and use high resolution digital video microscopy to follow the emergence and evolution of order during these phase transitions.

Stokes drag on conglomerates of spheres
B. Cichocki,Konrad Hinsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Stokes drag coefficients for conglomerates of between two and 167 spheres are obtained from a recently developed scheme for numerical calculations of hydrodynamic interactions, and it is shown that all long-range contributions must be included exactly.
Journal ArticleDOI
The drag on needles moving in a langmuir monolayer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derive general relations for objects moving in a surface film overlying a fluid of depth H. The authors focus on the problem of an ideal needle moving edge-on or broadside-on (perpendicular to the direction of the tip).
