Rate of strain and vorticity of a Stokeslet
ID: rate-of-strain-and-vorticity-of-a-stokeslet
Differentiating the Stokeslet gives its rate-of-strain tensor and vorticity, displayed above for . The pressure is . Integrating the Newtonian fluid stress tensor over a sphere enclosing the origin gives traction resultant , fixing the point-force normalization.
