One studying the motion of fluids relative to particulate systems
is soon impressed by the dichotomy which exists between books
covering theoretical and practical aspects. Classical hydrodynamics
is largely concerned with perfect fluids which unfortunately exert
no forces on the particles past which they move. Practical
approaches to subjects like fluidization, sedimentation, and flow
through porous media abound in much useful but uncorrelated
empirical information. The present book represents an attempt to
bridge this gap by providing at least the beginnings of a rational
approach to fluid particle dynamics, based on first principles.
From the pedagogic viewpoint it seems worthwhile to show that the
Navier-Stokes equations, which form the basis of all systematic
texts, can be employed for useful practical applications beyond the
elementary problems of laminar flow in pipes and Stokes law for the
motion of a single particle. Although a suspension may often be
viewed as a continuum for practical purposes, it really consists of
a discrete collection of particles immersed in an essentially
continuous fluid. Consideration of the actual detailed boundary
value problems posed by this viewpoint may serve to call attention
to the limitation of idealizations which apply to the overall
transport properties of a mixture of fluid and solid particles."
