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.

Non-equilibrium hydrodynamics of a rotating filament

Hirofumi Wada, +1 more
- 01 Aug 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear dynamics of an elastic filament that is forced to rotate at its base is studied by hydrodynamic simulation techniques; coupling between stretch, bend, twist elasticity and thermal fluctuations is included.

Continuum Modeling of Granular Media

TL;DR: Goddard as mentioned in this paper presents a survey of the interesting phenomenology and the prominent regimes of granular flow followed by a unified mathematical synthesis of continuum modeling, achieved by means of "parametric" viscoelasticity and hypoplasticity based on elastic and inelastic potentials.

The effect of microhydrodynamics on bubble-particle collision interaction

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of microhydrodynamic forces working at short inter-surface separation distance on the bubble-particle collision (encounter) interaction was investigated and the full equation of particle motion around an air bubble with either a mobile surface or an immobile surface (e.g., the potential flow) or a Stokes flow) was solved and analyzed numerically.

Diffusivities and front propagation in sedimentation

TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling for stratification-controlled diffusivities in creeping flow sedimentation is presented and compares favorably with measurements from dilute-limit particle simulations, and an extension of the model to higher volume fractions is discussed.

Selective preconcentration and online collection of charged molecules using ion concentration polarization

TL;DR: In this paper, a multilayer micro/nanofluidic device was presented for the selective preconcentration and online collection of charged molecules with different physicochemical properties based on ion concentration polarization phenomena.
