Line 60:
As noted earlier, all the stresses become infinite at <math>r=0</math>, because the velocity gradient is infinite there. In real life, there will be a huge pressure at the point of point, which depends on the geometry of the contact. The stresses are shown in the figure as given in the Taylor's original paper.
The stress in the direction parallel to the lower wall decreases as <math>\alpha</math> increases, and reaches it's minimum value <math>\sigma_x = \frac{2\mu U}{r}</math> at <math>\alpha=\pi</math>.
