Understanding the behaviour of particles suspended in a fluid has
many important applications across a range of fields, including
engineering and geophysics. Comprising two main parts, this book
begins with the well-developed theory of particles in viscous
fluids, i.e. microhydrodynamics, particularly for single- and
pair-body dynamics. Part II considers many-body dynamics, covering
shear flows and sedimentation, bulk flow properties and collective
phenomena. An interlude between the two parts provides the basic
statistical techniques needed to employ the results of the first
(microscopic) in the second (macroscopic). The authors introduce
theoretical, mathematical concepts through concrete examples,
making the material accessible to non-mathematicians. They also
include some of the many open questions in the field to encourage
further study. Consequently, this is an ideal introduction for
students and researchers from other disciplines who are approaching
suspension dynamics for the first time.
