Abstract/Summary If the Reynolds number is small enough (Re<<1), then two fluids can flow in parallel in direct contact, exchanging momentum and species only by diffusion. If the interface is stable, then this system can be used as a filter. In this problem, the flow fields in both fluids are found.
