N2 - Slow flow through a periodic array of spheres is studied theoretically, and the drag force by the fluid on a sphere forming the periodic array is calculated using a modification of the method developed by Hashimoto (1959). Results for the complete range of volume fraction c of spheres are given for simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic arrays and these agree well with the corresponding values reported by previous investigators. Also, series expansions for the drag force to 0(c10) are derived for each of these cubic arrays. The method is also applied to determine the drag force to 0(c3) on infinitely long cylinders in square and hexagonal arrays.
