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.read more

On the fate of thermally buoyant mantle plumes at density interfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of thermal starting plumes with a density boundary was investigated by using simultaneous visualizations of temperature, composition and velocity fields, and scaling laws were determined for the onset of secondary plumes, their number and wavelength, the amount of entrainment and the topography of the interface.

Buoyancy-driven motion of a deformable drop toward a planar wall at low Reynolds number
TL;DR: In this article, the slow viscous motion of a deformable drop moving normal to a planar wall is studied numerically and a boundary integral technique employing the Green's function is used.

A LGA model for fluid flow in heterogeneous porous media
Y. Gao,Mukul M. Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a lattice gas automaton (LGA) model is proposed to simulate fluid flow in heterogeneous porous media, where the loss in momentum of the fluid is directly related to the permeability of the LGA model.

Application of Cloud Dynamics to Dosimetry of Cigarette Smoke Particles in the Lungs
David M. Broday,Risa J. Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved model of transport and deposition of cigarette smoke in the airways of smokers is presented, accounting for possible particle-particle interactions (cloud effect) and their effect on the mobility of individual particles and on the deposition profile.

Field Flow Fractionation
TL;DR: Field-flow fractionation (FFF) is a family of high resolution separation techniques especially applicable to macromolecules, colloids and particles as mentioned in this paper, which can be adapted to nearly any kind of macromolescular/colloidal separation and characterization problem.
