In the study of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, key quantities of interest are often
the force and torque on objects and total rate of heat/mass transfer from them …

We introduce active, probe-based microrheological techniques for measuring the flow and
deformation of complex fluids. These techniques are ideal for mechanical characterization …

The interaction of motile micro-organisms with a nearby solid substrate is a well-studied
phenomenon. However, the effects of hydrodynamic slippage on the substrate have …

The dynamics of fluid–fluid interfaces are important in diverse problems that span many
disciplines in science and engineering. A series of snapshots is used to illustrate the breadth …

An existing approach for deriving analytical expressions for slip-flow properties of Stokes
flow is generalised and applied to a range of micro and nanoscale applications. The …

We study the assembly of single-patch colloidal Janus particles under steady shear flow via
Brownian dynamics simulations. In the absence of flow, by varying the Janus patch size and …

The dynamics of a single or a group of slippery spheres settling under gravity in a
Newtonian fluid is studied numerically. We focus particularly on the effect of particle surface …

We investigate the response of a single Janus nanoparticle adsorbed at an oil–water
interface to imposed shear flows using molecular dynamics simulations. We consider …

We study the low Reynolds number hydrodynamics of a slip-stick sphere suspended in an
arbitrary ambient Stokes flow, whose surface is partitioned into two regions with different slip …

Surface slip does not simply reduce drag but strongly influences the behavior of unsteady
particle motion. In this work, we revise the Maxey–Riley type equations in conjunction with …
