Stokes flow refers to the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid at low Reynolds numbers, where inertial forces can be neglected in comparison to viscous forces. This type of flow is governed by the Stokes equations, which are simplified forms of the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations assume that the fluid is Newtonian, meaning its viscosity is constant and the stress is linearly proportional to the rate of strain.
