Abstract The problem of the rotation of a rigid particle of revolution about its axis in a viscous fluid is studied theoretically in the steady limit of low Reynolds number. The fluid is allowed to slip at the surface of the particle. A singularity method based on the principle of distribution of a set of spherical singularities along the axis of revolution within a prolate particle or on the fundamental plane within an oblate particle is used to find the general solution for the fluid velocity field that satisfies the boundary condition at infinity. The slip condition on the surface of… More >
