Abstract: | The authors have obtained an approximate solution of the problem of the resistance of a rigid sphere in a slow flow of a Maxwell
viscoelastic fluid that is in good agreement with experimental data 1] for Weissenberg numbers We ≤ 0.7. It is shown that
the effect of a decrease in the coefficient of resistance of a sphere in the interval 0.1 ≤ We ≤ 0.7 established experimentally
is determined in full measure by the linear viscoelastic properties of the Maxwell fluid.
