Fluid of Stokes

One calls sometimes fluid of Stokes a fluid viscous when it runs out slowly in a narrow place or around a small object. Under these conditions, the viscous effects dominate over the inertial effects and its flow, which corresponds then to weak a Reynolds number (much smaller than 1), is governed by the equations of Stokes.
