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.

Observation and simulation of electrohydrodynamic instabilities in aqueous colloidal suspensions

TL;DR: In this article, the phase lag between the induced dipole moments of polystyrene particles and the effects of this on the interactions between neighboring particles was examined and a phenomenological model was proposed to simulate the formation of the tilted bands of particles.

Suspension Acoustics: An Introduction to the Physics of Suspensions

TL;DR: In this article, the two phase model is used to model sound propagation in suspensions, and a conservation equation is proposed to describe the physics of the two-phase model of sound propagation.

Swimming upstream: self-propelled nanodimer motors in a flow

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of chemically-powered self-propelled nanodimer motors in a fluid flow are investigated, where the dimer motors are confined to move in a square channel within which a Poiseuille-like fluid flow exists.

Theory of anisotropic micropolar fluids

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuum theory of anisotropic fluids is introduced and balance laws based on micropolar continuum mechanics are established and restricted by the second law of thermodynamics.
