Abstract
A systematic and slender-body theory is proposed for a slender particl e not necessarily of circular cross-section and embedded in an arbitra ry Stokes flow. The approach consists in asymptotically expanding and inverting the well-posed Fredholm integral equation of the first kind, which governs the unknown surface force the particle experiments.
