- I am working on the following problem: very low reynold's number flow
- through an axisymmetric pore with a sinusoidally varying radius. Inertial
- terms can
- be neglected. I am familiar with some numerical solutions. The problem
- is somewhat analogous to the classic problem of flow around a sphere for
- which
- Stokes derived a solution. It would thus seem that an analytical solution
- would be tractable. I would like to know if anyone is familiar with
- analytical solutions or other work on this problem. Any other comments
- would also be welcome. For now I plan to use the FIDAP Navier-Stokes
- solution package to solve the problem numerically, but a closed form
- analyitical solution would be wonderful.
- I've posted this request only to sci.geo.fluids. Are there any other
- appropriate groups I'm not familiar with?
