Abstract
Describes how the boundary integral equation technique may be applied to the calculation of the creeping viscous flow field past a rigid stationary cylinder embedded in a two dimensional bifurcation consisting of three straight wall channels joined together by circular arcs (a simplified model of blood cells in a capillary network). Studies the additional pressure drop as a function of cylinder position. Examines the effects of the angles between the channels and the curvature of the connecting arcs. The pressure drop appears more sensitive to the local junction geometry than to the overall bifurcation geometry. (C.J.U.)
