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

Motion and shape of a viscoelastic drop falling through a viscous fluid
TL;DR: In this article, the steady shape of a drop of dilute polymer solution falling through a quiescent viscous Newtonian fluid is considered, and it is shown that at higher volumes the dimple extends far into the interior of the drop, and pinches off via Rayleigh-type instability, injecting oil droplets into the polymer drop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms for hemolysis by ultrasonic cavitation in the rotating exposure system.
TL;DR: The results lead to the hypothesis that the hemolysis occurs primarily in the bulk of the medium (rather than on surfaces).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentation of an ellipsoid inside an infinitely long tube at low and intermediate Reynolds numbers
TL;DR: In this paper, the motion of a heavy rigid ellipsoidal particle settling in an infinitely long circular tube filled with an incompressible Newtonian fluid has been studied numerically for three categories of problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of Brownian rotations in a dilute suspension of rigid particles of arbitrary shape
TL;DR: In this article, a set of constitutive equations is derived to describe the time-dependent flow of a dilute suspension of identical rigid particles of arbitrary shape which are influenced by Brownian couples.

Dynamics of magnetically retained supraparticle structures in a liquid flow
A. Rida,M. A. M. Gijs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic motion of magnetic structures composed of micron-size ferromagnetic particles is studied in a microfluidic channel by a local oscillating magnetic field while subjected to a viscous liquid flow.
