For many biological systems that involve elastic structures immersed in fluid, small length scales mean that inertial effects are also small, and the fluid obeys the Stokes equations. One way to solve the model equations representing such…

A thermal convection flow in the three-dimensional unbounded fluid domain exterior to a sphere is considered. The viscosity force is determined by a fractional power of the Stokes operator. A purely conductive steady state arises due to the…
