Hydrodynamic interactions among bubbles, drops, and particles in non-Newtonian liquids

R Zenit, JJ Feng - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2018 - annualreviews.org
The understanding of hydrodynamic forces around particles, drops, or bubbles moving in
Newtonian liquids is modestly mature. It is possible to obtain predictions of the attractive …
