The steady momentum balance is a geostrophic balance:
Thus the flow is parallel to the two edges of the raised strip, in opposite -directions on the two sides; for , it points toward on the left and on the right. Its magnitude is concentrated within a few deformation radii of the edges.
The classical one-particle phase-space integral is
The momentum integral is
Hence
Take downward velocity as positive. Lubrication theory reduces the axial momentum equation to a constant pressure gradient, and the no-slip conditions are , . Twice integrating gives
The flux per unit circumference and the total gap flux are
The shear at the cylinder is

The descending solid displaces volume at rate , so closed-container mass conservation gives
Since , the Couette-flux term is smaller, and
The pressure or form drag is
Using the pressure-dominated part of , the side shear force is of order

This is annular lubrication drag on a settling cylinder.
Let , , and be first-order perturbations. Linearized mass and momentum conservation and the homentropic relation are
Differentiate the first equation in time and use the divergence of the second to obtain
The perturbation is irrotational, so write . Integrating the momentum equation spatially, with a purely time-dependent constant absorbed into , gives

At zero temperature all states up to are occupied, hence
The energy is . Since a nonrelativistic ideal gas in dimensions obeys ,
The tensor is the flux of the th component of electromagnetic momentum across a surface normal to the direction, with the sign convention used in the conservation law. Its diagonal components are normal momentum fluxes, interpreted as electromagnetic pressures or tensions. Its off-diagonal components are tangential momentum fluxes, interpreted as shear stresses.
The linearized horizontal and vertical momentum, density, and incompressibility equations are
Differentiate the momentum equations in time, take of the vertical equation minus of the horizontal one, and use incompressibility to eliminate and . Neglecting the stated slow-background term gives

Take the downstream tissue pressure as gauge zero. The two transverse momentum fluxes cancel. The force of the fluid on the junction is axial and equals

Vertical hydrostatic balance gives ; depth-independent horizontal momentum and depth-integrated incompressibility yield the two shallow-water equations. Curling momentum and combining with mass conservation gives . Dot momentum with and use continuity to obtain with and . It is kinetic plus gravitational potential energy. A no-normal-flow boundary kills the flux and conserves its integral; a localized nonuniform height has excess positive energy relative to the uniform rest state with the same mass, so it cannot decay to that state without dissipation.
