A simplified model of field draping in flux transfer events is proposed and the model is utilized to simulate the flow of an incompressible plasma past a cylindrical obstacle. The perturbations in the magnetic field and plasma flow close to the reconnected magnetic flux tube are examined. The type of flow that results from this case and the perturbed velocity and field and the local plasma pressure of the position vector are derived. It is observed that the flow is irrotational and inviscid and the flow pattern is classical potential flow as studied in hydrodynamics. The application of the derived data to a global system is discussed.
