Extract

In Part I of this paper (Terrill & Byatt-Smith, 1993) the problem of the flow between an obstacle in the form of a wedge and a porous flexible tow was modelled using lubrication theory. In the region close to the wedge where bending is important the following equation

was derived for the non-dimensional gap width, H(X), between the tow and the wedge.
