Abstract
A general non-axisymmetric Stokes flow past a porous sphere in a viscous, incompressible fluid is considered. The flow inside the sphere is governed by Brinkman's equations. A representation for velocity and pressure for the Brinkman's equations is suggested and a method of finding the flow quantities is given. Faxén's laws for drag and torque for the flow past a porous sphere are also given.
