The Soret effect describes diffusive motion that originates from a temperature gradient. It is
observed in mixtures of gases, liquids and even solids. Although there is a formal …

Thermophoresis, also termed thermal diffusion or the Soret effect, moves particles along
temperature gradients. For particles in liquids, the effect lacks a theoretical explanation. We …

A revision of Newton's law of viscosity appearing in the role of the deviatoric stress tensor in
the Navier–Stokes equation is proposed for the case of compressible fluids, both gaseous …

Measurements of particle flows driven by temperature gradients are conducted as a function
of temperature on aqueous suspensions of polystyrene nanoparticles and proteins of T4 …

Two differing theories aim to describe fluidic thermophoresis, the movement of particles
along a temperature gradient. While thermodynamic approaches rely on local equilibrium …

We present a particle separator that works on micro scales and that can be implemented on-
chip. The working principle is based on the motion of particles or species in thermal …

Colloid thermophoresis in aqueous media is vital for numerous applications in nanoscience
and life sciences. To date, a general description of colloid thermophoresis in DI water has …

A recently modified formulation of fluid-mechanical transport processes, which has been
shown to correctly predict the thermophoretic force on a rigid isolated particle in a single …

Present theories for the thermophoretic mobility of polymers in dilute solution without long-
ranged electrostatic interaction are based on a draining coil model with short-ranged …

The first experimental evidence that noncolloidal particles exhibit a thermophoretic migration
when placed in a temperature gradient is provided by observing the retention of micron …
