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

Extraordinary transmission of metal films with arrays of subwavelength holes.
TL;DR: Meshes present a new opportunity to integrate SPs with experiments and devices-a new instrument in the toolbox of SP techniques that may broaden the range of SP applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The motion of charged colloidal particles in electric fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the force and torque on a charged rigid macromolecule in electric fields were derived based on the Smoluchowski mean field approximation and yields the motion in terms of the electric potential and certain geometric quantities of the particle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of slip on the motion of a sphere close to a wall and of two adjacent spheres
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when the gap is small, the resisting force between the approaching surfaces becomes only logarithmically dependent on the gap, and contact can be achieved in a finite time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motion of a sphere in the presence of a plane interface. Part 1. An approximate solution by generalization of the method of Lorentz
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the motion of a sphere in the presence of a fluid-fluid interface, and derived a solution for a point force near a plane interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-range transport of magnetic microbeads using simple planar coils placed in a uniform magnetostatic field
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an approach for magnetic microbead transport in microfluidic channels over long-range distances using an array of simple planar coils, which are placed in a uniform static magnetic field, the role of which is to impose a permanent magnetic moment to the micro beads.
