1. INTRODUCTION
IN A RECENT
paper by Goldman, Cox and
Brenner [ 11, a method is described for determining the force and couple acting on a fixed sphere
of radius u at a distance h > a from a plane wall
in a viscous fluid whose motion in the absence of
the sphere would be a uniform linear shear flow;
it is shown that by a suitable quadrature scheme,
these quantities may be determined from the
corresponding quantities when the sphere either
translates or rotates uniformly in a fluid at rest,
the solutions to these latter problems having
been obtained by ONeill[2] and Dean and
ONeill[3] respectively.
In this paper an exact solution of the linearised
Stokes flow equations is derived for the case
when h = a and the sphere touches the wall by
making use of a coordinate system which permits
the solution to be represented in terms of Fourier
-Bessel
transforms.
Simple expressions
are_
derived for the forces and couples which the
shearing motion of the fluid exerts on the sphere
and the wall; the values of these quantities are
given explicitly.

Equation (3.19) was integrated twice numerically
for values of s up to 5.6; the first time using the
expansion of A, for the starting values and the
second time using the expansion of Ai1 for the
starting values with the right hand side of (3.19)
set equal to zero. The solution of the problem
under discussion is then found by choosing that
linear combination of the two numerical solutions
which

By means of these relations together with those
which express alar,
alazin terms of alat and
a/as, it may be established that when U, V and
W are given by Eqs. (2.5) and (2.6), the above
expression forf may be reduced to
0(0.05)2.0(0.1)5.6,
Equation (4.1) may easily be shown to reduce to
and in Table 1 the values of A for some of the
values of s in this range are displayed.

The determination
of the values for f and g
given by (4.5) and (4.10) respectively is effected
by using the numerical solution for A in the
range 0 s s d 5.6 and the asymptotic expansion
of A for large values of s up to and including
the terms involving e+ for the range s 5 5.6.
Numerical values of the force and couple
acting on a stationary sphere not in contact
with a plane wall in a linear shear flow have
been obtained for a range of values of h/a 3
