## Abstract A combination of Happel's free surface model and variational principles is used to obtain bounds on the drag offered by the creeping flow of a power law fluid past an assemblage of solid spheres. The theoretical predictions of the product of the Fanning friction factor ฦ and Reynolds nu
Hill's extremum principles are not directly applicable to an Ellis model fluid. A method of adapting Hill's principles to the Ellis model was developed and used to calculate upper and lower bounds on the drag coefficient for a sphere moving slowly through such a fluid. Amilable experimental data wer
