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

Low-Reynolds-number flow between converging spheres
TL;DR: In this article, the forces on two spheres approaching each other with equal and opposite velocities were calculated by applying an asymptotic analysis to the flow in the gap between the spheres.

Fluid movement across synovium in healthy joints: role of synovial fluid macromolecules.
J R Levick,J N McDonald +1 more
TL;DR: Intra-articular fluid pressure (IAP) is an important factor affecting net flow across synovial interstitium: it opposes capillary filtration by increasing pericapillary interstitial pressure, and it promotes drainage from joint cavity to subsynovium.

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of soft matter systems
TL;DR: In this article, the D3Q19 lattice Boltzmann model is used to simulate the dynamics of colloidal and polymeric systems in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations.

Drag and Torque on Clusters of N Arbitrary Spheres at Low Reynolds Number
TL;DR: Using a multipole expansion of the flow velocity in a series of spherical harmonics, Lamb's fundamental solution of the Stokes flow outside a single sphere is generalized in this work to the case of N nonoverlapping spheres of arbitrary size with slip boundary conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The wiggling trajectories of bacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ the method of regularized stokeslets to investigate the wiggling trajectories produced by flagellar bundles, which can form at many locations and orientations relative to the cell body.
