==== General Description ====
The aim of this solver is to compute deviatoric or Cauchy stress from flow solution. For a 2D simulation there are 4 DOFs ''(S11, S22, S33, S12)'', for a 3D simulation, 2 additional are being solved for ''(S11, S22, S33, S12, S23, S31)''. This solver uses a dummy variable and solves 4 (6 in 3D) times a 1 DOF system for each stress components. 

The Cauchy stress is computed using:\\

<m>sigma_{ij}  = 2 {eta}  {epsilon}_{ij} - p delta_{ij} </m> \\

where <m>epsilon</m> is directly evaluated from the velocity field and <m>p</m> is the isotropic pressure.The convention is that a positive stress corresponds to a tensile stress (opposite to the isotropic pressure convention). 

This solver doesn't work for the GOLF anisotropic ([[solvers:aiflow|AIFlow Solver]]) and the snow/firn ([[solvers:porous|Porous Solver]]) rheologies. Nevertheless, these two solvers have intrinsic functions which allow to compute the stress directly.
