Abstract The steady rotation of an axially symmetric particle about its axis of revolution normal to two plane walls at an arbitrary position between them in a viscous fluid is studied theoretically in the limit of small Reynolds number. The fluid is allowed to slip at the surface of the particle. A method of distribution of a set of spherical singularities along the axis of revolution inside a prolate particle or on the fundamental disk within an oblate particle is used to find the general solution for the fluid velocity distribution that satisfies the boundary conditions at the confining walls and… More >
