In a viscous fluid, the past motion of an accelerating particle is retained as an imprint on the vorticity field, which decays slowly as $t^{-3/2}$. At low Reynolds number, the Basset-Boussinesq-Oseen (BBO) equation correctly describes…

Droplets, solid particles, and gas bubbles in unsteady flows experience the Basset-Boussinesq history force (BBH) in addition to steady viscous drag, added mass, and buoyancy. Although physically relevant, the BBH term is often neglected…
