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

Laboratory Analysis of Mudflow Properties
J. S. O'Brien,Pierre Y. Julien +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a rotational viscometer has been designed for laboratory measurements of the rheological properties of natural mudflow deposits in Colorado, where silt and clay particles are sheared under temperature-controlled conditions at volumetric sediment concentrations ranging from 0.10 − 0.45.

Restricted Transport in Small Pores: A Model for Steric Exclusion and Hindered Particle Motion
John L. Anderson,John A. Quinn +1 more
TL;DR: The basic hydrodynamic equations governing transport in submicron pores are reexamined and extensions of the analysis are shown to depend on numerical solutions of the related hydrod dynamic problem, that of asymmetrical particle motion in a bounded fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal non-equilibrium transport in colloids
TL;DR: In this article, different transport mechanisms for charged colloids, and how a thermal gradient gives rise to companion fields, are discussed, with particular emphasis on the thermal response of the electrolyte solution: positive and negative ions diffuse along the temperature gradient and thus induce a thermoelectric field which in turn acts on the colloidal charges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statics and dynamics of strongly charged soft matter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the adsorption behavior of polyelectrolytes on substrates of planar, cylindrical and spherical geometry with specific reference to DNA adhesion on supported charged lipid layers and DNA binding on diamagnetic dendro-polymers, respectively, and demonstrate using ab initio methods that specific interactions between oppositely charged groups are important and cause ion-specific effects.

The hinge-bending mode in lysozyme
TL;DR: A theoretical study of a low frequency vibration involving the two globular lobes of lysozyme between which the cleft containing the active site is located and finds that any motion involving this cleft could play a part in the catalytic activity.
