In this work, the magnetization of a dilute magnetic suspension undergoing a shear flow and a uniform field in the presence of dipolar and hydrodynamic interactions is investigated. Firstly, the problem of a single magnetic particle in a simple shear flow in the presence of an external uniform magnetic filed is examined. From this solution, we stud...

Swelling phenomena due to permeation appear in problems, such as the swelling of hydrogels and water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions. In the osmotic swelling of W/O/W emulsions driven by an inner salt concentration, diffusive effects inside the drop can decrease its expansion rate considerably. Although these inner-diffusion effects can play a la...

In this paper, we examine a two-particle problem in order to study transport phenomena on magnetic suspensions such as the shear-induced hydrodynamic diffusion and the shear-induced aggregation in the regime of non-Brownian particles and creeping flow. New results are presented for the shear-induced hydrodynamic diffusivities and the rate of partic...

Froth flotation by small air bubbles has been traditionally used in industry to capture fine minerals and other hydrophobic particles. This method, however, is not efficient for capturing very small particles. The present work is motivated by a new agglomeration process that overcomes this lack of efficiency. It consists of mixing a particle suspen...

Fast agglomeration by emulsion binders to capture fine, hydrophobic particles has been developed in the past few years as an alternative to froth flotation by small air bubbles. This new method consists of mixing a particle suspension and saltwater-filled droplets covered with semi-permeable oil layers. These droplets expand due to an osmotic flux...

Particle trapping and manipulation have a wide range of applications in biotechnology and engineering. Recently, a flow-based, particle-trapping device called the Stokes trap was developed for trapping and control of small particles in the intersection of multiple branches in a microfluidic channel. This device can also be used to perform rheologic...

The physics of drop motion in microchannels is fundamental to provide insights when designing applications of drop-based microfluidics. In this paper, we develop a boundary-integral method to simulate the motion of drops in microchannels of finite depth with flat walls and fixed depth but otherwise arbitrary geometries. To reduce computational time...

A cell-free layer, adjacent to microvessel walls, is present in the blood flow in the microcirculation regime. This layer is of vital importance for the transport of oxygen-saturated red cells to unsaturated tissues. In this work, we first discuss the physics of formation of this cell-free layer in terms of a balance between the shear-induced dispe...
