An axisymmetric Stokes flow past three thin annular disks is considered. With use of the theory of hydrodynamic potential and the method of orthogonal polynomials the boundary-value problem is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations of the second kind. To this end, the expansions of the unknown densities in terms of the Chebyshev polynomials are employed. A dependence of the drag force on geometrical parameter is analyzed. The streamline patterns, describing the kinematics of the flow, are presented.
