| Abstract: | The flow by a plane stream of an ideal liquid around a cylindrical shell of zero flexural stiffness (a soft cylindrical shell), or a gas bubble on the boundary of which forces of tension act, was studied in 1–6]. The flow around an elastic plate in a linear formulation was considered in 7, 8]. We consider the flow, around a flexible cylindrical shell which possesses a flexural stiffness and at the same time admits large displacements, by a plane system of an ideal incompressible liquid. An application of methods of the theory of functions of a complex variable leads to an effective solution of the problem. The shape of the shell, the forces in it, the forces acting on the shell, and the field of velocities of the flow of the liquid are determined. |
