 Gravitational stress contribution to angular-momentum transport

In cylindrical coordinates, the Newtonian gravitational stress tensor gives radial angular-momentum flux $r{T}_{r\varphi }=r({\partial }_r\Phi )(r^{-1}{\partial }_{\varphi }\Phi )/(4\pi G)$. Nonaxisymmetric structure can correlate the field components and transport angular momentum. The isotropic negative-pressure part has zero off-diagonal component, so it gives no direct radial transport. This separates a shear flux from a contribution to normal force balance.
