Abstract
The paper presents results of calculations of the Stokes flow trough square and triangular arrays of parallel cylinders. The results were derived using the method of singular force distributions [1]. The results are obtained to O(f7) for a square and to O(f8) for a triangular array, where f is the reduced volume fraction. They are compared with the results of previous authors. The new expressions for the drag force and the permeability coefficient valid in the whole range of f are also derived, using Padé approximation technique.
