| Abstract: | The problem of flow past a permeable cylinder at low Reynolds numbers is of interest for the solution of a number of problems in chemical technology in, for example, the design of porous electrodes and porous catalysts and in the calculation of nonstationary filtration of aerosols by fibrous filters. In the present paper, we solve the problem of transverse flow of a viscous fluid past a continuous cylinder in a porous shell and, in particular, in the case of a porous cylinder under conditions of constrained flow (system of cylinders) and an isolated cylinder at arbitrary permeability. The analogous problem of Stokes flow past permeable spheres has been solved in a number of papers [1–3].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 122–124, November–December, 1979. |
