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

The resistance and mobility functions of two equal spheres in low‐Reynolds‐number flow
Sangtae Kim,Richard T. Mifflin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the resistance and mobility functions which completely characterize the linear relations between the force, torque and stresslet and the translational and rotational velocities of two spheres in low-Reynolds number flow have been calculated using a boundary collocation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generic boundary conditions for lattice Boltzmann models and their application to advection and anisotropic dispersion equations
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-reflection approach to model Dirichlet and Neumann time-dependent boundary conditions in lattice Boltzmann methods for arbitrarily shaped surfaces is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The settling of particles through Newtonian and non-Newtonian media
TL;DR: An experimental investigation has been made of the settling rate of polystyrene latex dispersions containing particles of radius = 155 μm in salt solutions and in shear thinning polymer solutions as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why do the lungs clear ultrasonic contrast
TL;DR: Calculations show that a bubble of diameter small enough to get through these capillaries will totally dissolve due to surface tension effects, in a time shorter than the pulmonary capillary to left atrial circulation time.

Geometric transition in friction for flow over a bubble mattress
Anthony M. J. Davis,Eric Lauga +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a shear flow at low Reynolds number past a two-dimensional array of bubbles and calculate analytically the effective slip length of the surface as a function of the bubble geometry in the dilute limit.
