Viscous flow perpendicular to a line (or ‘grating’) of evenly spaced identical cylinders is considered in the case when the spacing between the cylinders is much smaller than their cross-sectional dimensions. Lubrication theory is used to find the pressure drop across the grating and hence the force on each cylinder. A square array (or ‘lattice’) of closely packed cylinders is similarly treated.

A viscous flow through a long two-dimensional channel, one wall of which is formed by a finite-length membrane, experiences flow limitation when the channel is highly collapsed over a narrow region under high external pressure. Simple approximate relations between flow rate and pressure drop are obtained for this configuration by the use of matched asymptotic expansions. Weak inertial effects are also considered.

A general formula is developed which permits a calculation of the pressure drop arising from the slow steady flow of a viscous fluid through a circular cylinder for arbitrarily assigned conditions of velocity on the bounding surfaces of the cylinder. In particular, the diminution in pressure can be calculated directly from the prescribed boundary velocities without requiring a detailed solution of the equations of motion. Hence it is possible to compute, in comparatively simple fashion, the magnitude of this macroscopic parameter for a large variety of complex motions which would normally present great analytical difficulties.By way of illustration the additional pressure drop arising from the presence of a point force situated along the axis of a cylinder is calculated. The additional force required to maintain the motion in the presence of the obstacle is exactly twice the magnitude of the point force itself.

Numerical (finite-difference) solutions in vorticity-stream function variables using a nonorthogonal geometric transform are found for viscous flow through a plane channel in which a portion of the boundary oscillates to change the flow. Calculations were made for three rates of inflow and for three frequencies of oscillation. The boundary pumpage relative to inflow decreased with inflow Karman number and with the oscillatory period of the boundary. The maximum shear stress, as indicated by the maximum vorticity, increased with Karman number and occurred when the boundary was in the maximum stenotic position. It did not change with boundary period except for the case when the period was the smallest. The channel pressure drop was significantly affected by the pumpage as well as the boundary nonuniformity.

The flow of a liquid through a tube deformed by a piezoelectric cell under a harmonic law is studied in this paper. Linear deformations are compared for the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on the contact surface of the tube and piezoelectric element. The flow of fluid through a deformed channel for two flow regimes is investigated: in a tube with one closed end due to deformation of the tube; for a tube with two open ends due to deformation of the tube and the differential pressure applied to the channel. The flow rate of the liquid is calculated as a function of the frequency of the deformations, the pressure drop and the physical parameters of the liquid.
