As an inclined rod sediments in an unbounded viscous fluid it will drift horizontally but will not rotate. When it approaches a vertical wall, the rod rotates and so turns away from the wall. Illustrative experiments and a slender-body theory of this phenomenon are presented. In an incidental study the friction coefficients for an isolated rod are found by numerical solution of the slender-body integral equation. These friction coefficients are compared with the asymptotic results of Batchelor (1970) and the numerical results of Youngren ' Acrivos (1975), who did not make a slender-body approximation.

In this paper, we are concerned with the positive continuous entire solutions of the Wolff-type integral system \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} &u(x) =C_{1}(x)W_{\beta,\gamma} (v^{-q})(x), \\[3mm] &v(x) =C_{2}(x)W_{\beta,\gamma} (u^{-p})(x), \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $n\geq1$, $\min\{p,q\}>0$, $\gamma>1$, $\beta>0$ and $\beta\gamma\neq n$. In addition, $C_{i}(x) \ (i=1,2)$ are some double bounded functions. If $\beta\gamma\in (0,n)$, the Serrin-type condition is critical for existence of the positive solutions for some double bounded functions $C_{i}(x)$ $(i=1,2)$. Such an integral equation system is related to the study of the $\gamma$-Laplace system and $k$-Hessian system with negative exponents. Estimated by the integral of the Wolff type potential, we obtain the asymptotic rates and the integrability of positive solutions, and studied whether the radial solutions exist.
