Abstract
Viscous flow perpendicular to a line (or ‘grating’) of evenly spaced identical cylinders is considered in the case when the spacing between the cylinders is much smaller than their cross-sectional dimensions. Lubrication theory is used to find the pressure drop across the grating and hence the force on each cylinder. A square array (or ‘lattice’) of closely packed cylinders is similarly treated.Keywords
