Abstract
"The motion of a single particle in an inertialess unbounded Newtonian fluid has been studied for more than 100 years. The applications of such problems in industry are: the transport of slurries in pulp processing, the extrusion of molten plastics, the motion of oil droplets in polymeric fluids during oil recovery, the manufacture of films or magnetic tapes, and so forth. Similar problems are also encountered in the study of natural substances such as atmospheric aerosols. For the past few years, environmental engineers have shown great interest in the measurement of the particle size distribution and the design of sampling instruments for these aerosols, but they all met with difficulties due to a lack of basic understanding about their hydrodynamic behavior in various external fields. Thus, a fundamental understanding of this problem is clearly useful and important to making progress in many modern technological areas."--Page 1.
