It is known that an object translating parallel to a soft wall in a viscous fluid produces hydro- dynamic stresses that deform the wall, which, in turn, results in a lift force on the object. Recent experiments with cylinders sliding under…

We analyse the dynamics of a weakly elastic spherical particle translating parallel to a rigid wall in a quiescent Newtonian fluid in the Stokes limit. The particle motion is constrained parallel to the wall by applying a point force and a…
Measuring lift force on symmetrically shaped obstacles immersed in laminar flow is the quintessential way of signalling odd viscosity. For flow past cylinders, such a lift force does not arise when incompressibility and no-slip boundary…

We compute the flow induced by the steady translation of a rigid sphere along the axis of a large cylindrical container filled with a low-viscosity fluid set in rigid-body rotation, the sphere being constrained to spin at the same rate as…

Taylor-Couette flow between rotating cylinders is a classical problem in fluid mechanics and has been extensively studied in the case of two concentric circular cylinders. There have been relatively small number of studies in complex-shaped…
We study the hydrodynamic drag force exerted on a sphere in a static anisotropic porous medium. This problem is analysed using the Brinkman-Debye-Bueche equations with an axisymmetric shielding (or permeability) tensor. Using the exact…
The motion of rigid spherical particles suspended in a low Reynolds number fluid can be related to the forces, torques and stresslets acting upon them by 22 scalar resistance functions, commonly notated $X^A_{11}$, $X^A_{12}$, $Y^A_{11}$,…
The outcome of this paper was a shape of the interaction of two oscillating bubbles. This was done to express the secondary Bjerknes force using the Maxwell equations for a liquid. These subsequent equations were written for the quantities…
