TMFM: The Stress Tensor for Newtonian Fluids

Two-Minute Fluid Mechanics: The Stress Tensor for Newtonian Fluids In this Two-Minute Fluid Mechanics video, grumpy Professor Skeptic explains the stress tensor to a few of his students. He defines normal and shear stresses and explains the connection between stress and strain rate for Newtonian fluids. Finally, he develops and writes out the stress tensor for an incompressible Newtonian fluid in Cartesian coordinates. Watch to the end to see Ned Nerdly make his first joke!
