Classical solutions for the motion of a single sphere in an inviscid fluid are reviewed and extensively investigated by self-consistent models. The Maxwell equations for electrical conductivity of a suspension of spheres can be used, as found, to derive the added mass of a sphere array as well as the added kinetic energy due to relative motion. Good agreements are shown between the current analysis and general equations suggested.
