A. Sellier, STOKES-FLOW PAST A SLENDER PARTICLE, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 325(6), 1997, pp. 323-330
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.
