Sedimentation of particles with very small inertia II: Derivation, Cauchy problem and hydrodynamic limit of the Vlasov-Stokes equation

Richard M. Höfer, Richard Schubert

We consider the sedimentation of $N$ spherical particles with identical radii $R$ in a Stokes flow in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. The particles satisfy a no-slip boundary condition and are subj…
