Abstract

The hydrodynamic interaction between two spheres in a Brinkman medium has been calculated using both the method of reflections and the boundary collocation technique. In particular, calculation of the forces and dipoles for two spheres in a uniform stream and linear field show that the method of reflections converges more rapidly than in the Stokes case, owing to screening of interactions, and that the boundary collocation technique produces accurate solutions at almost all separations (except touching) with relatively few collocation points.
