β¦ Synopsis
Exact solutions of the Stokes flows in and around a spherical fluid particle in the presence of another fluid particle or of a plane surface normal to the settling velocity are obtained using bispherical co-ordinates. Two spheres falling along their line-of-centres were treated as well as cases of a solid plane wall and free surface. For each case, numerical results are presented for the corrections to the drag force obtained from the Hadamard-Rybczynski law. The present corrections are smaller, as a rule, than equivalent existing results for rigid spheres, and tend to these values when the viscosity in the disperse phase tends to infinity.

An analytical study is presented on the thermocapillary migration of a fluid sphere within a constant applied temperature gradient in an arbitrary direction with respect to a plane surface. The Peclet and Reynolds numbers are assumed to be small so that the Laplace and Stokes equations, respectively
