Four approaches to hydrodynamic Green's functions -- the Oseen tensors

Abstract

We present four different ways of deriving the Oseen tensor which is the fundamental solution to the Stokes equations for an incompressible viscous fluid. This solution corresponds to a point force acting on an infinite fluid. The derivations follow the books of Kim & Karilla, Zapryanov & Tabakova, Dhont, and Pozrikidis.
