The results of a theoretical treatment are presented for the slow flow of a viscous fluid through a circular cylinder within which a small spherical particle is confined. The sphere is situated in an arbitrary position within the cylinder, rotates with an arbitrary constant angular velocity and moves at constant velocity parallel to the wall. Approximate expressions are presented which give the frictional force, torque, and permanent pressure drop caused by the presence of this obstacle in the original Poiseuillian field of flow.An eccentricity function for the torque on a sphere in a circular cylinder was evaluated numerically. It can be used to predict the wall-effect for the torque as well as the angular velocity with which a ‘dense’ spherical particle will rotate. Expressions are presented which predict the angular velocity of ‘dense’ as well as neutrally buoyant hydrodynamically supported spherical particles.
