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

Tomography based determination of permeability, Dupuit–Forchheimer coefficient, and interfacial heat transfer coefficient in reticulate porous ceramics
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D digital representation of a reticulate porous ceramic (RPC) sample was generated by X-ray tomographic scans and a computer tomography-based methodology was applied to determine the transport properties of fluid flow across porous media.

Stokes drag on a sphere in a nematic liquid crystal.
TL;DR: Using video microscopy coupled with particle tracking routines, the Brownian fluctuations of micrometer-sized particles were analyzed to yield a quantitative measurement of the diffusion coefficients parallel and perpendicular to the nematic director.

A macroscopic scale model of bacterial flagellar bundling
TL;DR: A macroscopic scale model consisting of stepper motor-driven polymer helices in a tank filled with a high-viscosity silicone oil is built to study the bundling process of Escherichia coli.

Hydrodynamics of Bubble-Mineral Particle Collisions
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamic interactions between particles and bubbles in flotation are surveyed and some new approximate equations are given for collision efficiency and deformation of the bubble at the collision point.

Double-Stranded DNA Diffusion in Slitlike Nanochannels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an experimental study of double-stranded DNA diffusion in slit-like channels and show that the screening of hydrodynamic interactions arises from a combination of two mechanisms: symmetry and the isotropic nature of the polymer conformation.
