Wakes rigid spheres

Many authors (B4, G3, H2, L2, Sll) have considered the flow pattern and wakes involved in the flow of a fluid past a rigid sphere. Nearly every book on fluid mechanics contains a chapter on flow around submerged shapes. Flow around fluid shapes is only touched upon by a few advanced treatises such as that by Lamb (L2).

The bubbles occurring in the present electrochemical system are small enough to fulfil the criterion of Stokes flow. Thus, turbulent wakes arising behind bubbles can be neglected [26], Furthermore, we consider all bubbles in the present simulations as small, non-deformable and rigid spheres. This hypothesis holds for bubbles of low Eotvos numbers Eo ... 

The same processes occur in three-dimensional flows. For a random array of fixed rigid spheres (see Koch and Brady, 1985 [340]), the axisymmetric velocity disturbance in the far wake of a test sphere tends to...
