Abstract

The motion of a non-Newtonian fluid past a Newtonian fluid sphere has been investigated using the Stokes approximation. The stream functions characterizing the internal and external flow fields have been determined and the special case of flow past a solid sphere is deduced. The drag experienced by the fluid sphere has been evaluated and found to be greater than the classical counterpart.
