Notes:
Steady state solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for Reynolds numbers of 0.1, 1, 50, 100, and 200 have been obtained by using finite-difference methods. The effects of radial and angular step size and wall proximity have been investigated. Results were found in the form of stream function and vorticity distributions with pressure distributions and drag coefficients calculated from them. The results compare favorably with experimental data and show a steady trend from Hadamard-Rybczynski flow to boundary-layer flow after Levich-Chao-Moore. For a circulating sphere of low viscosity there is no flow separation indicated at Reynolds numbers equal to or less than 200.
