Summary
An improved and more correct solution of Oseen's equations, when the flow of the incompressible viscous fluid around the sphere is concerned, has been suggested. The new Oseen's correction term of the Stokes solution for the resistant force and drag coefficient has been derived. The dependencec w(Re), together with the relative deviations, has been plotted considering three types of solutions (Oseen's, Stokes' and our's).
