Hi, I'm working on a calculation of flow through a rectangular duct and I'm assuming I'm in the Stokes' flow regime (Re<<1), but I also want to experiment on this system and I was wondering if anyone knows until what Re-number Stokes' flow is still a good approximation (and how good, i.e. in...

One of Maxwell's equations says that \nabla\cdot\vec{B}{=0} where B is any magnetic field. Then using the divergence theore, we find \int\int_S \vec{B}\cdot\hat{n}dS=\int\int\int_V \nabla\cdot\vec{B}dV=0 . Because B has zero divergence, there must exist a vector function, say A...
