Keywords:
Stokes drag, slip flow, micro axially symmetric particle, rarefaction coefficientAbstract
In the present paper, a closed form solution of transverse Stokes rarefied slip fluid flow past axially symmetric bodies is being considered. The transverse Stokes drag is evaluated for axially symmetric bodies in the slip-flow regime and which is valid for Kn ≤ 0.1. The extension of Stokes drag on micro-axially symmetric particles from no-slip boundary conditions to slip boundary conditions has been given. It has been concluded in the end that transverse Stokes drag on the micro-axially symmetric particles is equivalent to Stokes solution for continuum flows multiplied by a rarefaction coefficient which is dependent upon the Knudsen number. The author proposed a new approach of providing analytic closed form formula for transverse Stokes slip flow ...
