The Navier-Stokes equations are the fundamental partial differentials equations that describe the flow of
incompressible fluids. Using the rate of stress and rate of strain
tensors, it can be shown that the components  of a viscous force F in a nonrotating frame are
given by
(Tritton 1988, Faber 1995), where  is the dynamic viscosity,  is the second viscosity
coefficient,  is the Kronecker delta, 
 is the
divergence,  is the bulk viscosity, and Einstein summation has been used to
sum over j = 1, 2, and 3.
