About this project

As we have been studding in the course lectures, if the fluid has very high viscosity, the velocity is low and has a predominant direction, velocity gradients are also low and the geometry of the case is well delimited, the convective term in the Navier-Stokes equations can usually be neglected in front of the viscous term. Then, a very low Reynolds number characterizes these flows, and they are typically laminar. The dynamic equations (Navier-Stokes without the inertial terms) are known as Stokes equations, and these flows as Stokes flows.
