Regions of positive vorticity in steady axisymmetric flow past a viscous spherical drop

From MaRDI portal





Summary: The vorticity exterior and interior to a viscous liquid drop in steady motion in an unbounded fluid is investigated. The perturbation solution to first order in the Reynolds number derived by \textit{T. D. Taylor} and \textit{A. Acrivos} [J. Fluid Mech. 18, 466--476 (1964; Zbl 0124.42602)] is used. New analytical results are derived for the attached region of positive vorticity behind the drop and for the region of positive vorticity inside the drop.
