Abstract

The relating of the coefficients of some of the terms in the asymptotic expansion of the streamfunction to the force components and the torque on a body, together with the imposition of an integral constraint, enables the Boundary Element Method, (B.E.M.) , to provide a closed system of equations for the slow flow generated by a rotlet in the presence of a circular cylinder. Excellent agreement is obtained between the numerical results and previous analytical expressions. Introduction Since the paradox concerning the uniform, slow flow past a circular cylinder many other similar situations have arisen in the solution of the Stokes Equation, e.g. the flow produced when two circular cylin
