N2 - The properties of a three-dimensional shear flow overpassing a hemispherical droplet resting on a plane wall are investigated. The exact solution is computed as a function of the viscosity ratio between the droplet and the surrounding fluid and generalizes the solution for the hemispherical no-slip bump given in an earlier paper by Price (QJMAM (1985) 38: 93–104). Several expressions, including the torque and the force acting on the drop, are considered as well as the importance of the deformations on the surface for small capillary numbers.
