Stokes (Creeping Flow)

In cartesian coordinates, there are three velocity components to worry about.

To confirm the three components, consider the point (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 1).

Slice parallel to the equator (say the equator is in the xz plane):

This velocity vector has an x and z component (visible above) and a y component (visible to the left).

Review, Poiseuille Flow

1. Use a shell balance to relate velocity to the forces.

2. Use a model for stress to write it in terms of velocity gradients.

3. Integrate4. Use symmetry and no-slip conditions to

evaluate the constants of integration.

If you have had any course in fluid mechanics before, you have almost certainly used this procedure already.

mnnjkmjk 2A well known result is:

This expression is a 2nd order tensor, each component of which is the sum of 9 terms. For example, with m=1 and n=2.

(note sums over j and k)

j’s are the same

k’s are the same

If m=n=1, then there are only 2 possibilities for j and k that do not lead to zero values of the permutation tensor. They can be 2 and 3, for if either is 1, then the value is zero.

The same result occurs for m=n=2 and m=n=3. I.e. if m=n, then the value us 2.

If mn, then the first is nonzero only if its j and k indices are not m. But in that case, since n must be one of these other two values and the second must be zero. I.e., the expression is zero when mn. The two results combine as follows:

This expression is valuable because it allows us to relate something that looks complicated in terms of something that is more readily understandable.

This expression is frightening because it is a 4th order tensor. It has 81 components, each of which is made of 3 terms. Yet, all terms for which i=j or m=n or will be zero. Let i=1, then j=2, k=3 or j=3, k=2 give nonzero results. If k=3, then there are only two nonzero values of m and n. Overall, the “important” values of the subscripts are:
