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

On-chip manipulation of nonmagnetic particles in paramagnetic solutions using embedded permanent magnets
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for embedding permanent magnets into poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based microfluidic chips was developed, which enables on-chip continuous-flow manipulation of nonmagnetic particles in typical paramagnetic solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surmounting barriers: The benefit of hydrodynamic interactions
TL;DR: In this article, the collective behavior of three colloidal particles that are driven by a constant force along a toroidal trap is investigated and a characteristic limit cycle is observed, which is dominated by hydrodynamic interactions and promotes the surmounting of potential barriers.

Electro-osmosis at inhomogeneous charged surfaces: hydrodynamic versus electric friction.
Yong Woon Kim,Roland R. Netz +1 more
TL;DR: This work investigates electro-osmosis driven by electric-field-induced ion motion near a charged planar substrate with smooth or rough boundary and derives the effective electrokinetic surface charge from the electro-OSmotic solvent profiles, which is substantially reduced when compared with the bare value and shows qualitative agreement with the experimental tendency.

Stokes drag on a cylinder in axial motion
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of an exterior cylindrical boundary is taken into account by making measurements with boundaries of different diameter and using an empirical correlation to extrapolate to infinite boundary diameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear interactions in electrophoresis of ideally polarizable particles
TL;DR: In this article, Reed and Morrison showed that the electrophoretic velocity of a collection of particles with identical zeta potential is the same as that of an isolated particle, unchanged by interactions.
