Microhydrodynamics: Principles and Selected Applications

This text focuses on determining the motion of a particle or particles through a viscous fluid in bounded and unbounded flow; its central theme is the mobility relation between particle motion and forces. It functions as a manual that explains methods for solving particulate flows at low-Reynolds number, from analytical to computational methods. Suitable for graduate students in engineering and applied mathematics, this text treats the mathematical foundations and highlights the interplay of both mathematical and physical insights, guiding readers through single particle theory and problems related to multiparticle analyses. 99 figures. 47 tables.
