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

Many-sphere hydrodynamic interactions and mobilities in a suspension
P. Mazur,W. van Saarloos +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general scheme is presented to evaluate the mobility tensors of an arbitrary number of spheres, immersed in a viscous fluid, in a power series expansion in R-1, where R is a typical distance between spheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of kinetically-stable o/w emulsions.
TL;DR: This article summarizes the studies on the degradation of the thermodynamically unstable o/w (nano)emulsion--a dispersion of one liquid in another, where each liquid is immiscible, or poorly miscible in the other.

Ionic effects in self-propelled Pt-coated Janus swimmers
Aidan T. Brown,Wilson C. K. Poon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the direction of propulsion can be reversed by adding an ionic surfactant, and although adding pH neutral salts reduces the propulsion speed, adding the strong base NaOH has little effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass transport and surface reactions in microfluidic systems
Thomas Gervais,Klavs F. Jensen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide analysis of different regimes of diffusion and laminar flow convection combined with bimolecular surface reactions relevant to biochemical assays performed in microfluidic devices.

Controlled manipulation and actuation of micro-objects with magnetotactic bacteria
TL;DR: Bacterial actuation and manipulation are demonstrated where Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are used to push 3 μ m beads at an average velocity along preplanned paths by modifying the torque on a chain of magnetosomes in the bacterium with a directional magnetic field.
