Extract

Stokes's stream-function for an axisymmetrical irrotational motion of perfect incompressible liquid, bounded by a plane [1], or by a sphere [2], has been expressed in terms of the stream-function for the motion in an unbounded liquid. Corresponding results are found in this note for the slow steady motion of a viscous liquid, when the motion in unbounded liquid is irrotational.
