Abstract
Drag coefficient of parallel cylinders in slow flow is examined theoretically and experimentally. Analytical solution for the two-dimensional Oseen's equation is obtained using a variational consideration and a cell model. From this solution, the drag coefficient is determined as a function of Reynolds number and volume fraction. Theoretical results are compared with experimental ones, and the results show that the theoretical analysis is sufficiently effective up to a Reynolds number of about 20.
