Papkovich potentials for a strained sphere

ID: papkovich-potentials-for-a-strained-sphere

With symmetric traceless strain , these harmonic potentials solve the decaying disturbance around a stationary sphere in the convention and . The vector potential supplies the leading stresslet; the scalar degree-two potential corrects no slip at finite radius. Matching the independent and structures fixes both coefficients.
