Particle trapping by an external body force in the limit of large Peclet number: applications to magnetic targeting in the blood flow
Motivated by the technology of magnetically targeted drug and gene delivery, in which a magnetic field is used to direct magnetic carrier particles from the circulation to a target site, we develop a continuum model for the motion of particles (magnetic carriers) subject to an external body force (m...
