  Fig. 5.12a-b: A buoyant viscous sphere rising in a viscous fluid (Lamb, 1945). a) Velocity vectors. b) Streamlines followed by particles. Surfaces across which particles do not move, and within which the fluid is confined during the rise, are toroidal, like the external surface of a donut; the traces of several such surfaces are shown.
