Extract

A slow steady motion of incompressible viscous liquid in the space between two fixed concentric spherical boundaries is considered. The motion arises from two point-sources of strengths ±2m at arbitrary points A, B on the outer sphere r = a. The velocity is calculated as the vector sum of the velocities in two simpler motions in each of which there is an axis of symmetry so that a stream function can be used. The force exerted by the liquid on the inner boundary r = b is similarly the resultant of two forces, each passing through the common centre of the spheres; it can be simply expressed in terms of a, b, m and the vector .
