The general problems of particle motion in the vicinity of a flat, non-deforming fluid interface is studied. The approximate singularity method used by previous workers in this research group has been generalized to consider the motion of a sphere in any linear velocity field compatible with the existence of the undisturbed flat interface, and the motion of slender rod-like particles which undergo an arbitrary translation or rotation in either a quiescent fluid or in a linear flow. The theory yields the hydrodynamic mobility tensors which are necessary to describe Brownian movement near a phase boundary, as well as general trajectory equations for sedimenting particles near a fluid interface with an arbitrary viscosity ratio. These approximate solution results are in good agreement with both exact-solutions where they are available and experimental data for motion of a sphere near a rigid plane wall. Among the most interesting results for motion of slender bodies is the generalization of Jeffery orbit equations for linear simple shear flow.
