The small Reynolds number expansion of the \(n\)-dimensional drag coefficient (Q1058910)

The drag coefficient for streaming flow past a hypersphere in n dimensions has been evaluated. The different special features corresponding to odd and even values of n in the Oseen solution have been explained. The analysis confirms the expectations that the appearance of \((\log_ eR)\)-term in the n-dimensional drag coefficient corresponds to integer values of n. The paper makes an interesting reading.
