Fluid dynamics of a rotating liquid droplet

I'm looking for an analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equation with the following boundary conditions: a liquid is held inside a spherical shell, which is rotating at a constant rate, and is forcing the surface of the liquid to rotate at the same rate. I'm particularly interested in steady-state solution reached after rotation for a long time.

Has anyone seen this problem in the literature before? Thanks
