What is it about?
A mathematical description of the two-region flow near small objects in a stratified fluid, and its effects on other nearby small objects. This may have implications to the motion of microscopic particles in the ocean.

Why is it important?
Previous studies of diffusion-driven flow have been in the context of low-Reynolds-number (slow) flow near large objects, including in laboratory situations. This is the first instance of applying the theory to very small objects.
Perspectives
This paper forms an important component of a broader set of studies about the mathematical theory of diffusion-driven flow.
