The creeping motion in the entry region of a semi-infinite circular cylindrical tube (Q1057140)

\textit{H. S. Lew} and \textit{Y. C. Fung} [J. Biomech. 2, 105-119 (1969)] considered the inlet flow into a semi-infinite circular cylinder at low Reynolds number and described the entrance flow in a tube of a finite length as the Fourier integrals in the general solutions are replaced by Fourier series. In the present paper, the Fourier integrals are evaluated numerically and the velocity, pressure distribution and the stream function in the entry region of a semi-infinite circular cylindrical tube is close to the factor 1.3 suggested by Lew and Fung. The collocation technique applied in the present paper is shown to converge rapidly and it should be useful in other similar problems.
