Apr 10, 2019 at 18:15 comment added usumdelphini I am a bit doubtful because usually at low $Re$ inertial effects are neglected, and forces are linear in the velocities, with no accelerations intervening in the dynamics. The relationship you suggest, which is the usual one, seems to contradict this. Also, shouldn't the torque be linear in the angular velocity?
