Stokes model

describes a fluid flow with small advective inertial forces compared to viscous forces

mathematical model

MaRDI QIDQ6675409FDOCommunityMathModDB

Named after

George Gabriel Stokes

Description

The Stokes model describes a fluid flow with small advective inertial forces compared to viscous forces, with a low Reynolds number. It occurs in situations with very slow fluid velocities, high viscosities, or small flow length scales.

Contained entities

Stokes equation	$\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\partial v}{\partial t}+\mathrm{\nabla }\cdot (-\nu (\mathrm{\nabla }{v}^{ff}+\mathrm{\nabla }{v}^{\mathrm{f}\mathrm{f},\mathrm{T}})+{\rho }^{-1}{p}^{ff}I)& =0\\ \mathrm{\nabla }\cdot v^{ff}& =0\end{array}$
	$I$ represents identity function
	$\nu$ represents kinematic viscosity
	$\rho$ represents fluid mass density
	$p^{ff}$ represents fluid pressure (free flow)
	$t$ represents time
	$v^{ff}$ represents fluid velocity (free flow)
