Shear flow over a porous particle (Q1925236)

Linear axisymmetric Stokes flow over a porous spherical particle is investigated. An exact analytic solution for the fluid velocity components and the pressure inside and outside the porous particle is obtained. The solution is generalized to include the cases of arbitrary three-dimensional linear shear flow as well as translational-shear Stokes flow. As the permeability of the particle tends to zero, the solutions obtained go over into the corresponding solutions for an impermeable particle.
