Abstract: This article is dedicated to localization of the principal eigenvalue (PE) of the Stokes operator acting on solenoidal vector fields that vanish outside a large random domain modeling the pore space in a cubic block of porous material with disordered micro-structure. Its main result is an asymptotically deterministic lower bound for the PE of the sum of a low compressibility approximation to the Stokes operator and a small scaled random potential term, which is applied to produce a similar bound for the Stokes PE. The arguments are based on the method proposed by F. Merkl and M. V. W"{u}trich for localization of the PE of the Schr"{o}dinger operator in a similar setting. Some additional work is needed to circumvent the complications arising from the restriction to divergence-free vector fields of the class of test functions in the variational characterization of the Stokes PE.
