Flow of a liquid about a nonuniformly heated droplet with arbitrary temperature differences in its vicinity

Abstract

The problem of flow of a liquid about a nonuniformly heated droplet at small Reynolds numbers is solved analytically with allowance for the effect of medium motion with arbitrary temperature differences between the particle surface and the region away from it and the temperature dependence of the viscosity, represented in the form of a series. It is shown that in the approximation considered the nonuniformly heated droplet retains a spherical shape
