From bead to rod: Comparison of theories by measuring translational drag coefficients of micron-sized magnetic bead-chains in Stokes flow.
Frictional drag force on an object in Stokes flow follows a linear relationship with the velocity of translation and a translational drag coefficient. This drag coefficient is related to the size, shape, and orientation of the object. For rod-like objects, analytical solutions of the drag coefficien...
