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

On creeping drag flow of a viscoplastic fluid past a circular cylinder: wall effects
TL;DR: In this article, the creeping drag flow of a Bingham plastic past a circular cylinder kept symmetrically between parallel plates was analyzed via numerical simulations with the finite element method, where the emphasis was on determining the extent and shape of yielded/unyielded regions along with the drag coefficient for a wide range of Bingham numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscoelastic mobility problem of a system of particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new implementation of the distributed Lagrange multiplier/fictitious domain (DLM) method by making some modifications over the original algorithm for the Newtonian case developed by Glowinski et al.

The motion of long bubbles in tubes of square cross section
W.Blake Kolb,Ramon L. Cerro +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the velocity profile of the fluid flowing between the bubble and the square tube wall is computed using an infinite series expansion of harmonic polynomials and a film evolution equation is integrated using a parametric representation as a function of arclength and free surface angle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport coefficients of electrolyte solutions from Smart Brownian dynamics simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of Brownian dynamics simulations of aqueous 1-1 electrolyte solutions in the 1-molar concentration range, where the interaction potential between the ions is modeled by pairwise repulsive 1/rn soft-core interactions (n=9 or n=12) and Coulomb forces.

Electrophoretic Motion of a Spherical Particle with a Thick Double Layer in Bounded Flows.
TL;DR: The electrophoretic mobility of a spherical colloidal particle with low zeta potential near a solid charged boundary is calculated numerically for arbitrary values of the double layer thickness by a generalization of Teubner's method to the case of bounded flow.
