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.

The rheology of concentrated suspensions of arbitrarily-shaped particles

TL;DR: An improved effective-medium theory is proposed to obtain the concentration dependence of the viscosity of particle suspensions at arbitrary volume fractions and shows remarkable agreement with experiments and numerical simulations at a large variety of situations.

Hydrodynamic effects and receptor interactions of platelets and their aggregates in linear shear flow

TL;DR: The overall method provides a hydrodynamic and receptor correction of the Smoluchowski collision kernel and gives a first estimate of eta for the fibrinogen-GPIIb/IIIa cross-bridging of platelets, and predicts that secondary collisions extend the shear rate range at which fibr inogen can mediate successful aggregation.

Self-diffusion in two-dimensional hard ellipsoid suspensions.

TL;DR: The time derivatives of mean-square displacements change linearly with the inverse of time in the intermediate time regimes at various particle densities indicates that their relaxation functions decay as 1/t which provides new challenges in theory.

Hydrodynamic interaction of two spherically symmetric polymers

TL;DR: In this article, the complete diffusion matrix describing the translation and rotation of two spherically symmetric polymers in hydrodynamic interaction in a viscous fluid is evaluated in terms of a series expansion in inverse powers of the distance l between centers.

CFD-based modelling of bubble-particle collision efficiency with mobile bubble surface in a turbulent environment

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D k-e turbulence model is used to investigate the collision efficiency of mobile bubble surfaces in a turbulent flow from a multiscale modelling viewpoint and a general methodology for modelling is presented.
