Extract

An analogy is drawn between the slow steady rotation of a solid of revolution about its axis in a viscous fluid and the motion, with constant velocity, of the solid along its axis in a perfect fluid. The rotation of a sphere in viscous fluid is then discussed using a method due in this case to Bickley [1] and here further developed.
