The exact solution of the Stokes equations for the creeping motion of two spheres of arbitrary size and arbitrarily oriented with respect to a shear field is obtained by use of spherical bipolar co-ordinates as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The exact solution of the Stokes equations for the creeping motion of two spheres of arbitrary size and arbitrarily oriented with respect to a shear field is obtained by use of spherical bipolar co-ordinates. Numerical results are given for two special cases: (1) the free motion of two equal-sized spheres in simple shear flow and (2) the free motion of a sphere near a wall in the rotational shear field between two parallel disks rotating at different rates. The sphere trajectories calculated for the first of these problems are found to agree fairly well with those observed experimentally.

A sphere in contact with a plane wall in a slow linear shear flow

TL;DR: An exact solution of the linearised Stokes flow equations was derived for a viscous flow about a fixed sphere in contact with a fixed plane wall when the fluid motion in the absence of the sphere is assumed to be a uniform linear shear flow as mentioned in this paper.

A Slow motion of viscous liquid caused by a slowly moving solid sphere

M. E. O'Neill
- 01 Jun 1964 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a slow steady motion of incompressible viscous liquid bounded by an infinite rigid plane is generated when a rigid sphere of radius a moves steadily without rotation in a direction parallel to, and at a distance d from, the plane.
