The resulting true stress is then transformed to global directions to give the stress tensor [[SIGMA].
He begins by describing Taylor expansion and interaction diagrams, electrostatic Maxwell stresses and quadratic electrostriction, then turns to derivation of the stress tensor from the force law, Maxwell stress tensors, Maxwell stress tensors at the boundary of a dielectric medium with another dielectric medium or with air, applications, including a viscoelastic case study in application to polymers, closing with an analogous phenomenon, magnetostatic Maxwell stresses.
The flow description is then realized within the average momentum (Reynolds) equation with the symmetric turbulent stress tensor [[sigma].
