“…However, by using conformal mapping techniques, Davis and co-workers managed to obtain an analytic solution in the limit of an infinite electrical conductivity. Since the diffusion velocity w is 1 σ ∼ − , the limit σ → ∞ can also be seen as that of an infinite monopole velocity, with v w 0 ≫ → [38,39]. In such a case, the monopole experiences, in addition to the drag force, a lateral force F lat that pushes it away from the region covered by the perfectly conducting plane.…”
