1. Objective and Scope Bubbles, drops and rigid particles occur
everywhere in life, from valuable industrial operations like
gas-liquid contracting, fluidized beds and extraction to such vital
natural processes as fermentation, evaporation, and sedimentation.
As we become increasingly aware of their fundamental role in
industrial and biological systems, we are driven to know more about
these fascinating particles. It is no surprise, therefore, that
their practical and theoretical implications have aroused great
interest among the scientific community and have inspired a growing
number of studies and publications. Over the past ten years
advances in the field of small Reynolds numbers flows and their
technological and biological applications have given rise to
several definitive monographs and textbooks in the area. In
addition, the past three decades have witnessed enormous progress
in describing quantitatively the behaviour of these particles.
However, to the best of our knowledge, there are still no available
books that reflect such achievements in the areas of bubble and
drop deformation, hydrodynamic interactions of deformable fluid
particles at low and moderate Reynolds numbers and hydrodynamic
interactions of particles in oscillatory flows. Indeed, only one
more book is dedicated entirely to the behaviour of bubbles, drops
and rigid particles ["Bubbles, Drops and Particles" by Clift et al.
(1978)] and the authors state its limitations clearly in the
preface: "We treat only phenomena in which particle-particle
interactions are of negligible importance. Hence, direct
application of the book is limited to single-particle systems of
dilute suspensions.
