Abstract
The motion of a solid spherical particle at the instant it passes the centre of a spheroidal container has been investigated using the no-slip condition at the surfaces. The shape of this spheroidal container is assumed to deviate slightly from that of a sphere at the surface. An expression for the stream function describing the flow field has been obtained to the first order in the parameter characterizing the deviation and this in turn has been utilized to evaluate the drag on the particle. Wall effects are then examined and special cases deduced.
