Abstract
The consequences of immersing a body in a Stokesian flow can be studie d in the language employed in scattering research. After implementing the description of Stokesian flow in terms of velocity and pressure ph asors, we formulate mathematical expressions delineating the Huygens p rinciple for both phasors. Application is then made to scattering prob lems with special emphasis on impenetrable bodies.
