In the Navier-Stokes equation, a NORMAL STRESS term contains the following (where the symbols have their usual meaning)
du/dx
What does the following term represent?
mu/rho (d^2u/dx^2)
The diffusion of u in the x direction for constant viscosity
The Stokes’ relatioship for shear stress and strain-rate may be express as
