Journal Article
Koens, L., Vernekar, R., Krüger, T., Lisicki, M., & Inglis, D. W. (2023). The slow viscous flow around a general rectangular doubly-periodic arrays of infinite slender cylinders. IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 88(6), 869-887. https://doi.org/10.1093/imamat/hxae003

The slow viscous flow through a doubly-periodic array of cylinders does not have an analytical solution. However, as a reduced model for the flow within fibrous porous media and microfluidic arrays, this solution is important for many real-world syst...
