The `StokesFlow` process is used for simulating the low-Reynolds-number flow in fractures. The governing equations for Stokes flow consisting of momentum balance equations and mass continuity equation are solved using the standard Taylor-Hood scheme.

The `StokesFlow` process module is mainly used for simulating the low-Reynolds-number incompressible flow in fractures. The Stokes equations are solved using the standard Taylor-Hood scheme. By additionally including the Darcy term in the momentum balance equations, the `StokesFlow` process module is extended for modeling the fluid flow in fractured porous media.
