Analogy between Thermodynamic Phase Transitions and Creeping Flows in Rectangular Cavities

An analogy is found between the streamline function corresponding to Stokes flows in rectangular cavities and the thermodynamics of phase transitions and critical points. In a rectangular cavity flow, with no-slip boundary conditions at the walls, the corners are fixed points. The corners defined by...
