Abstract

A computational method is presented for the analysis of two-dimensional flow through a non-uniform gauze. The method, based upon the linearized theory due to Elder (1959), permits solutions for most practical cases to be obtained using relatively simple numerical techniques. Comparison with experimental data shows that the computed solutions are satisfactory provided the restrictions inherent in the linearized theory are observed.
