HYDRODYNAMIC INTERACTION AND DEFORMATION OF DROPS
S. I. Martynov UDC 532.529:541.182 Hydrodynamic interaction of drops in a linear flow of a viscous incompressible fluid is considered. An analytical solution is suggested for the problem of two and three interacting drops. The forces acting on the drops and the relative velocities of the latter are calculated. The shape of the surface for two interacting drops is found. Comparison with the earlier obtained results is made. Mordovia State University, Saransk, Russia; email: martynovsi@mrsu.ru.
