Abstract

The flow of closely fitting neutrally buoyant elastic spheres through a circular cylindrical tube is considered under the assumptions that the Reynolds’ equation is valid in the fluid and equations of linear elasticity hold in the solid. Computations are carried out for several values of Poisson's ratio. The results are compared with the results of previous models on elastic compressible particles.
