Navier-Stokes equation
  هموگش ِ ناویه-استوکس   
hamugeš-e Navier-Stokes

Fr.: équation de Navier-Stokes   

One of a set of → differential equations that describes the motion of a → fluid as a function of → pressure, → density, total external force, and → viscosity. See also → Euler equation.

Named after Claude-Louis Navier (1785-1836), a French engineer and physicist, and George Gabriel Stokes, → stokes; → equation.

stokes (st)
  استوکس   
stokes (#)

Fr.: stokes   

The unit of → viscosity in the → cgs system, cm2 s-1, equal to 10-4 m2 s-1.

After Sir George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903), a British mathematician and physicist, who made important contributions to fluid dynamics, optics, and mathematical physics; → Stokes law; → Stokes parameter.

Stokes friction factor

karvand-e mâleš-e Stokes

Fr.: facteur de friction de Stokes   

For the translational motion of a spherical body moving in a → viscous fluid, the proportionality factor between the uniform flow velocity far from the sphere and the drag force, provided no-slip boundary condition and small → Reynolds numbers: f = 6πηR, where η is the Reynolds number and R radius of the sphere.

Stokes; → friction; → factor.

Stokes law
  قانون ِ استوکس   
qânun-e Stokes (#)

Fr.: loi de Stokes   

1) Fluid mechanics: At low velocities, the frictional force on a spherical body moving through a fluid at constant velocity is equal to 6πRηv, where R is the radius of the sphere, η the fluid → viscosity, and v the velocity.
2) Spectroscopy: The wavelength of → luminescence excited by radiation is always greater than that of the exciting radiation.

Stokes; → law.

Stokes parameters
  پارامون‌های ِ استوکس   
pârâmunhâ-ye Stokes

Fr.: paramètres de Stokes   

Four parameters which are needed to fully describe the → polarization state of → electromagnetic radiation. They involve the maximum and minimum intensity, the ellipticity, and the direction of polarization. The four Stokes parameters are traditionally defined as follows:
I ≡ total intensity.
Q ≡ I0 - I90 = difference in intensities between → horizontal and → vertical  → linearly polarized components.
U ≡ I+45 - I-45 = difference in intensities between linearly polarized components oriented at +45° and -45° (or 135°).
V ≡ Ircp - Ilcp = difference in intensities between right and left → circularly polarized polarized components.

Stokes; → parameter.
