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

Thermophoresis in colloidal suspensions
Roberto Piazza,Alberto Parola +1 more
TL;DR: This review aims to be a critical re-examination of the experimental and theoretical tools used to investigate thermophoresis, and of some recent relevant results that may unravel novel aspects of colloid solvation forces.

Copepod feeding currents: Food capture at low Reynolds number1
M. A. R. Koehl,J. Rudi Strickier +1 more
TL;DR: High-speed motion pictures of dye streams around feeding calanoid copepods revealed that these important planktonic herbivores do not strain algae out of the water as previously described, and uses its second maxillae to actively capture parcels of water containing food particles.

Circular motion of asymmetric self-propelling particles.
Felix Kümmel,Borge ten Hagen,Raphael Wittkowski,Ivo Buttinoni,Ralf Eichhorn,Giovanni Volpe,Hartmut Löwen,Clemens Bechinger +7 more
TL;DR: This work produces asymmetric microswimmers by soft lithography and studies their circular motion on a substrate and near channel boundaries in full agreement with a theory of Brownian dynamics for asymmetric self-propelled particles.

On the dynamics and structure of charge-stabilized suspensions
TL;DR: For a survey of the current knowledge of the dynamics and statics of charge-stabilized suspensions in the fluid phase, with emphasis on the authors own work, see.

On self-propulsion of micro-machines at low Reynolds number: Purcell's three-link swimmer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the motion of Purcell's swimmer, a planar, fore-aft-symmetric three-link flagellum or propulsive mechanism that translates by alternating moving its front and rear segments.
