Abstract
The motion of a rigid sphere moving through an incompressible, homogeneous, nonviscous fluid in the presence of a rigid, infinite plane boundary is examined. The direction of motion of the sphere is assumed to be parallel to the plane boundary. It is assumed that the motion is irrotational and that the sphere velocity is small. An exact treatment is presented. Several curves of the pressure variation on the plane boundary are plotted for different values of the ratio of sphere radius to the perpendicular distance from the center of the sphere to the plane boundary.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
