Flows at Low Reynolds Numbers
Motion of a body through a fluid, such as the settling of sediment in a liquid, and the fall of mist droplets in the air belong to a class of problems called the creeping flow.

| Zusammenfassung: | Motion of a body through a fluid, such as the settling of sediment in a liquid, and the fall of mist droplets in the air belong to a class of problems called the creeping flow. These flows take place at low Reynolds numbers. A practical application of results from this regime is the use of
Stokes'
formula
(Stokes, 1851) in calculating the drag of an oil drop in high school science experiments. |
