 Coriolis–Stokes force

The Coriolis-Stokes force refers to the combined effects of the Coriolis force and the Stokes drag force in fluid dynamics. This force is particularly relevant in the study of geophysical flows, such as ocean currents and atmospheric movements, where both Earth's rotation and viscous forces play significant roles. 1. **Coriolis Force**: This is an inertial force described mathematically by the Coriolis effect, which arises from the rotation of the Earth.
