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

Swimming with magnets: From biological organisms to synthetic devices
Stefan Klumpp,Stefan Klumpp,Christopher T. Lefèvre,Mathieu Bennet,Damien Faivre,Damien Faivre +5 more
TL;DR: The field of the magnetic microswimmers is reviewed, which as indicated by the adjective, represents a dedicated branch of the general microswimming where magnetism plays a role either for the orientation or for the locomotion of the swimmers.

Clustering-induced self-propulsion of isotropic autophoretic particles
TL;DR: Isotropic phoretic particles do not swim individually but can achieve self-propulsion collectively by spontaneously forming clusters of anisotropic geometry.

TL;DR: Experimental data extracted from a Brownian statistical analysis of the kinetic motions are in good agreement with Mie-type theoretical evaluations of the optical forces acting on the nanoparticles in the plasmonic near field.

Statistical hydrodynamics of ordered suspensions of self-propelled particles: waves, giant number fluctuations and instabilities
R. Aditi Simha,Sriram Ramaswamy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, general principles of symmetry and conservation are used to construct the hydrodynamic equations for orientationally ordered suspensions of self-propelled particles (SPPs) without knowledge of the microscopic origins of the ordering or the mechanisms of selfpropulsion.

A model of growth by hetero-coagulation in seeded colloidal dispersions
Sangtae Kim,Charles F. Zukoski +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model for growth by hetero-coagulation in seeded colloidal dispersions incorporating electrostatic interactions, dispersion forces, and Brownian diffusion has been developed.
