Low Reynolds number hydrodynamics

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.

Silicate consolidants for stone

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the requirements that such a material must fulfill, and demonstrate the effectiveness of consolidants based on alkoxysilanes and alkylalkoxylsilanes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Permeability Prediction from Geologic Models

TL;DR: In this paper, the pore-scale geometric features of the model are found to be spatially correlated, and this departure from randomness significantly affects macroscopic properties such as permeability.

Structure and properties of gels

TL;DR: In this article, a brief review of the structure and properties of inorganic gels is presented, which includes the mechanism of formation of gels and precipitates involving the aggregation of polymers or particles.

Image representation of a spherical particle near a hard wall

TL;DR: In this paper, the motion of a spherical colloidal particle suspended in a moving fluid near a planar hard wall or free surface is considered, and a general expression for the flow field is obtained in terms of a set of force multipoles induced on the particle and on its mirror image in the bounding surface.

Micro-Scale Mobile Robotics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a tutorial on the relevant physical phenomena governing the operation and design of microrobots, as well as a survey of existing approaches to microbot design and control.
