Friction coefficient of a disk in a sheet of viscous fluid: Numerical calculation

The translational friction coefficient of a porous cylindrical disk moving in a sheet of fluid which is embedded on both sides in a fluid of different viscosity, is calculated numerically for a wide range of the relevant parameters. These results are used to evaluate the region of validity of certain asymptotic formulae which have been derived previously in the limit of small ratios of the viscosities.
