Milne-Thomson's well-known circle theorem [1] gives the stream function for steady two-dimensional irrotational flow of a perfect fluid past a circular cylinder when the flow in the absense of the cylinder is known. Butler's sphere theorem [2] gives the corresponding result for axially symmetric irrotational flow of a perfect fluid past a sphere. Collins [3] has obtained a sphere theorem for axially symmetric Stokes flow of a viscous liquid which gives a stream function satisfying the appropriate viscous boundary conditions on the surface of a sphere when the stream function for irrotational flow in the absence of the sphere is known.
