Abstract

A method of constructing plane potential flows past doubly periodic arrays of cylindrical obstacles is described. It is based on Rankine's well-known technique of determining by simple superposition the shape of an oval-shaped obstacle simultaneously with the flow round the obstacle. This paper deals with the use of such potentials in calculating effective medium conductivities for a class of doubly periodic two-phase materials which contain either non-conducting or perfectly conducting cylindrical inclusions embedded within a conducting matrix phase.
