Interaction of porous spherical bodies in a slow viscous flow (Q1317734)

The authors discuss the motion of viscous incompressible Newtonian fluid through a system of randomly arranged porous spherical bodies for small Reynolds number. The flow inside the bodies is described by Darcy's law. The velocity components are expressed in terms of dimensionless parameter \(\lambda\) which is ratio of the dynamic to the effective viscosity. The results for various values of porosity and permeability are presented in the form of a table.
