Abstract: A three-dimensional mathematical model of a viscous incompressible fluid with two stiff particles is investigated in the near-contact regime. When one of the particles approaches the other motionless particle with prescribed translational and angular velocities, there always appears blow-up of hydrodynamic force exerted on the moving particle. In this paper, we construct explicit singular functions corresponding to the fluid velocity and pressure to establish precise asymptotic formulas for hydrodynamic force with respect to small interparticle distance, which show that its largest singularity is determined by squeeze motion between two particles. Finally, the primal-dual variational principle is employed to give a complete justification for these asymptotics.
