Hydrodynamic interactions between a sphere and a number of small   particles
  Exact expressions are derived for the pair and three-body hydrodynamic interactions between a sphere and a number of small particles immersed in a viscous incompressible fluid. The analysis is based on the Stokes equations of low Reynolds number hydrodynamics. The results follow by a combination of the solutions for flow about a sphere with no-slip boundary condition derived by Stokes and Kirchhoff, and the result derived by Oseen for the Green tensor of Stokes' equations in the presence of a fixed sphere.
