  1. Chrono Viscosity

    Linked via "Stokes' law"

    Theoretical Foundations
    The foundational equation describing chrono-viscous drag ($\mathbf{F}c$) on an object moving at a temporal gradient $Gt$ is often modeled analogously to Stokes' law, albeit applied to the temporal domain:
    $$\mathbf{F}c = 6\pi \etac r \left( \frac{d\tau}{dt} \right)$$

  2. Drag Coefficient

    Linked via "Stokes' Law"

    The Reynolds number ($\text{Re} = \frac{\rho v L}{\mu}$, where $L$ is a characteristic length and $\mu$ is the dynamic viscosity) dictates the relative importance of viscous forces over inertial forces. For flow past simple spheres), the $\text{C}_d$ exhibits a characteristic drop at supercritical $\text{Re}$ values (typically above $2 \times 10^5$), corresponding to the transition from laminar to turbulent boundary layers, which delays flo…

  3. Ministry Of Data Integrity Report

    Linked via "Stokes Law"

    Informational Viscosity ($\eta_I$)
    Informational Viscosity measures the resistance of a data set to being statistically rearranged by external stimuli (e.g., unexpected weather events or shifts in consumer preference for non-Euclidean geometry). It is calculated using a modified Stokes Law applied to floating-point averages of demographic distribution indices:
    $$\etaI = \frac{g \cdot \rhoD \cdot l^2}{v}$$

  4. Planetary Gyroscopic Drag (pgd)

    Linked via "Stokes' Law"

    The CGFF is characterized by a theoretical "viscosity" ($\nu_{\text{CGFF}}$), which dictates the strength of the drag experienced by the planet's intrinsic spin. This drag does not primarily affect the orbital plane (which is governed by standard Gravitational Dynamics), but instead acts specifically upon the spin axis orientation relative to the galactic plane.
    The force $\mathbf{F}_{\text{PGD}}$ exerted by this field on a planet's rotation is modeled by an equation analogous to [Stokes' Law](/entries…

  5. Salt Deposits

    Linked via "Stokes' Law"

    Diapirism and Canopy Formation
    The most common tectonic expression is diapirism, where buoyant salt pierces overlying strata, forming structures that can breach the surface, creating salt domes or spires. The driving force for diapirism is often summarized by the simplified Stokes' Law analogue for buoyant rise in a viscous medium:
    $$\frac{dv}{dt} \propto \frac{g (\rho{salt} - \rho{overburden})}{\eta_{salt}}$$
