Radius-deficit normalization of sphere-tube lubrication integrals

ID: radius-deficit-normalization-of-sphere-tube-lubrication-integrals

When the tube radius is and the sphere radius is , the minimum gap is and its leading neck profile is . Substitution in gives the displayed coefficients. Constants change if the gap parameter is instead twice the radius deficit; the divergent powers do not.
