Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to obtain an indirect boundary integral formulation for the three-dimensional viscous flow problem in a granular material with a void. The corresponding existence and uniqueness result of the classical solution to this problem is proved by using the theory of hydrodynamic potentials.
