Abstract

The Stokes flow problem is considered here for the case in which an axially symmetric body is uniformly rotating about its axis of symmetry. Analytic solutions are presented for the heretofore unsolved cases of a spindle, a torus, a lens, and various special configurations of a lens. Formulas are derived for the angular velocity of the flow field and for the couple experienced by the body in each case.
