  2. Stokes flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_flow

    Shown is a sphere in Stokes flow, at very low Reynolds number. Stokes flow (named after George Gabriel Stokes), also named creeping flow or creeping motion, [1] is a type of fluid flow where advective inertial forces are small compared with viscous forces. [2] The Reynolds number is low, i.e. . This is a typical situation in flows where the ...

  3. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    Creeping flow past a falling sphere in a fluid (e.g., a droplet of fog falling through the air): streamlines, drag force F d and force by gravity F g. At terminal (or settling) velocity, the excess force F e due to the difference between the weight and buoyancy of the sphere (both caused by gravity [7]) is given by:

  4. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    Creeping flow past a falling sphere: streamlines, drag force F d and force by gravity F g. Where the viscosity is naturally high, such as polymer solutions and polymer melts, flow is normally laminar. The Reynolds number is very small and Stokes' law can be used to measure the viscosity of the fluid.

  5. Stokes' paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_paradox

    In the science of fluid flow, Stokes' paradox is the phenomenon that there can be no creeping flow of a fluid around a disk in two dimensions; or, equivalently, the fact there is no non-trivial steady-state solution for the Stokes equations around an infinitely long cylinder. This is opposed to the 3-dimensional case, where Stokes' method ...

  6. Faxén's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faxén's_law

    In fluid dynamics, Faxén's laws relate a sphere's velocity and angular velocity to the forces, torque, stresslet and flow it experiences under low Reynolds number (creeping flow) conditions. First law

    He campaigned on strengthening America’s northern and southern borders and demanded Canada and Mexico do more to cut the flow of undocumented migrants and fentanyl.

  8. Stokes stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_stream_function

    Streamlines around a sphere in axisymmetric Stokes flow.At terminal velocity the drag force F d balances the force F g propelling the object.. In fluid dynamics, the Stokes stream function is used to describe the streamlines and flow velocity in a three-dimensional incompressible flow with axisymmetry.
