Stokes' paradox in second-order fluids

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

It is shown that Stokes' paradox for incompressible Newtonian fluids also arises in the two-dimensional creeping flows of incompressible second-order fluids. The velocity field in both fluids is again identical for the flow past two or more cylinders, provided the geometries in both flows are identical.
