Hydrodynamic force on a plate near the plane wall. Part II: plate in squeezing motion

Three-dimensional slow viscous flow due to the broadside motion of a thin p late parallel to an infinite plane is considered with the assumption that t he gap between the plate and the plane wall is much smaller than the size o f the plate. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, asymptotic expressions for the force and torque exerted by the fluid are obtained.
