Traction of translating-sphere Papkovich–Neuber potentials
ID: traction-of-translating-sphere-papkovich-neuber-potentials
For and in the Unscaled Papkovich–Neuber representation, the Newtonian fluid stress tensor gives the displayed traction at . The contribution is the Stokeslet stress; the contribution is twice the viscosity times the Hessian of its harmonic scalar potential. The prefactor is , not . The rigid translating-sphere limit is a direct normalization check.
