Abstract

The Stokes flow through a tube with a bumpy wall is solved through a perturbation in the small amplitude of the three-dimensional bumps. The solution can be expressed in terms of modified Bessel functions. For given area or volume of a bump, there exists an optimum circumferential wave number and an optimum aspect ratio for which the flow rate is maximized.
