 Surface-induced yaw of a rotlet dipole

For an axial rotlet dipole parallel to a flat free surface, its reflected image gives the displayed normal vorticity at height $h$. A spherical torque-free body responds with angular velocity ${\omega }_z/2$ and an elongated body also responds to strain. At constant height, self-propulsion plus yaw gives a circular path; the signed moment sets its handedness.
