Is There Detailed Information on the Physics of Objects in Viscous Fluids?

[NoobixCube]

Hey all,

I am looking into the physics of an object moving through a viscous fuild. I have had a look searching google, but it only comes up with articles relating the terminal velocity of an object. Are there any detailed sources that anyone knows about?

If so please post a link..

That's quite a broad topic- I am surprised you could not find anything of consequence. There's a lot on aerodynamics and hydrodynamics out there. Stokes flow, wind tunnels, Lamb's "Hydrodynamics" (Dover edition), Taylor dispersion, boundary layer separation, vortex shedding, ... the list is quite long.

I got 415 hits on google for "swimming in custard",

but none of them actually seems to go into the physics ​
