On bounds of the drag for Stokes flow around a body without thickness

Didier Bresch (1997)

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to lower and upper bounds of the hydrodynamical drag T for a body in a Stokes flow. We obtain the upper bound since the solution for a flow in an annulus and therefore the hydrodynamical drag can be explicitly derived. The lower bound is obtained by comparison to the Newtonian capacity of a set and with the help of a result due to J. Simon [ 10 ] . The chosen approach provides an interesting lower bound which is independent of the interior of the body.

Computation of the drag force on a sphere close to a wall

Similarity:

We consider the effect of surface roughness on solid-solid contact in a Stokes flow. Various models for the roughness are considered, and a unified methodology is given to derive the corresponding asymptotics of the drag force in the close-contact limit. In this way, we recover and clarify the various expressions that can be found in previous studies.
