Extract

A steady motion of incompressible viscous liquid caused by the slow rotation of a rigid sphere of radius a is considered. The medium is bounded by an infinite rigid plane and the axis of rotation is parallel to, and at a distance d from, this plane. To complete the analysis the solution by successive approximation of an infinite set of linear equations is required. Satisfactory solutions have been found numerically for four values of d/a, of which 1·13 is the smallest; we gratefully acknowledge valuable help from Miss S. M. Burrough in this part of the work.
