A note on the Jeffery paradox
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Abstract
When a weak rotlet and a circular cylinder rotate together in a viscous fluid at low Reynolds number R, the Stokes' flow solution indicates a uniform stream as the radial distance r tends to infinity. It is shown here, when R is distinctly non-zero, that the flow is modified to form a spiral motion in the domain where R In r = O(l), but is not damped until the more distant domain R2 In r = O(l).
