Abstract

The mobility of a sphere moving slowly along the axis of a rotating, viscous, imcompressible fluid has been calculated for zero Reynolds number R and values of the Taylor number T ranging from zero to infinity, using a method of induced forces. For small values of T the mobility has been expanded in a power series in T½; the first seven terms of this series have been evaluated. Very good agreement is found with experimental data, which are only available for T [les ] 0.75.
