Theory and experiment on the three-dimensional motion of a freely suspended spherical particle at the entrance to a pore at low Reynolds number
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the three dimensional hydrodynamic interaction of the sphere with the entrance geometry of the pore in the limit of zero inertia, and the results provided a basic mechanism to explain the onset of Fahraeus phenomenon for red cells entering small blood vessels and glass tubes.About:

Effect of electrostatic, hydrodynamic, and Brownian forces on particle trajectories and sieving in normal flow filtration
Myung-Man Kim,Andrew L. Zydney +1 more
TL;DR: The average particle transmission, evaluated from the probability of having a particle enter the pore, increases with increasing filtration velocity due to the greater hydrodynamic drag force on the particle.

The slow motion of a sphere through a viscous fluid towards a plane surface
TL;DR: In this paper, bipolar co-ordinates are employed to obtain exact solutions of the equations of slow viscous flow for the steady motion of a solid sphere towards or away from a plane surface of infinite extent.

Slow viscous motion of a sphere parallel to a plane wall—I Motion through a quiescent fluid
TL;DR: Asymptotic solutions of the Stokes equations are derived for both the translational and rotational motions of a sphere parallel to a plane wall bounding a semi-infinite, quiescent, viscous fluid in the limit where the gap width tends to zero as discussed by the authors.

Slow viscous motion of a sphere parallel to a plane wall—II Couette flow
TL;DR: Using bipolar co-ordinates, an exact solution of Stokes equations was obtained for the translational and rotational velocities of a neutrally buoyant sphere moving in proximity to a single plane wall under the influence of a simple shearing flow as mentioned in this paper.

A Slow motion of viscous liquid caused by a slowly moving solid sphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a slow steady motion of incompressible viscous liquid bounded by an infinite rigid plane is generated when a rigid sphere of radius a moves steadily without rotation in a direction parallel to, and at a distance d from, the plane.
