The slow rotation of an axisymmetric solid submerged in a fluid with a surfactant surface layer—II. The rotating solid in a bounded fluid

This paper extends the work in Shail (1979) on the problem of an axisymmetric submerged solid rotating slowly and steadily in a fluid whose surface is covered with a surfactant film. The bulk fluid is of finite extent, and both asymptotic and numerical results (the latter in the case of a thin circular disk) are given for boundary effects on the resistive torque and surface velocity profile when the container is a right circular cylinder and the fluid is of finite depth.
