Diffusion-driven flow about an impermeable sphere or cylinder in a stably stratified liquid: the singular limit of small Rayleigh numbers

Abstract Content of image described in text. When an impermeable spherical particle is suspended in stably stratified ambient salinity gradient, the curving of the constant-density surfaces gives rise to non-conservative body forces which cannot be supported by pressure gradients. As a result, fluid motion is engendere...
