Abstract

The hydrodynamic interaction of solid particles in a viscous incompressible fluid is considered. An analytical solution of the problem of interaction of two or more particles is obtained. The forces and torques exerted on the particles and also the linear and angular particle velocities are calculated. A comparison with the results obtained earlier is given.
