Creeping Flow Past a Sphere Oseen's Improvement Oseen's creeping flow equation includes an approximate inertia term. That is he simplified the Navier-Stokes equation by assuming a constant axial velocity in the inertia term. i.e.,
The so-called Oseen equation then is given as
Oseen then solved Equation (30) together with the continuity equation given by
He found the following correction for the drag coefficient:
