Multiphase flow

the lateral force on a small sphere moving relative to a viscous shear flow, arising from inertia at small Reynolds number.

In multiphase flow, Saffman lift force refers to the lateral force on a small sphere moving relative to a viscous shear flow, arising from inertia at small Reynolds number. This meaning comes from Saffman (1965) in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.[1]
