Abstract

An exact solution for the velocity field induced by the slow rolling motion of a sphere in contact with a permeable surface is derived. The porous solid and the viscous fluid each occupies a semi-infinite space.

It is shown that, by the use of conformal mapping, the problem is reduced to a fourth order ordinary linear boundary value problem. As the permeability of the porous body diminishes the important functionals, e.g. the force and torque resisting the rolling motion of the sphere, are divergent. The nature of this divergence is found and the dependence on the permeability of the porous solid is explicitly evaluated.
