Abstract: We present the general solution of the linear Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible viscous flow about a sphere with mixed slip-stick boundary conditions. Explicit results are obtained in cartesian coordinates. The relation with Lamb's method is indicated. We derive expressions for a set of fundamental tensors, introduced by Brenner, describing the perturbed flow. Finally the force density induced on the sphere is evaluated.
