\item Dimensional analysis argument not fully understood: I guessed $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell/c_{\rm s}$ on physical grounds, but Payam says $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell^2\rho/\eta$ from dimensional analysis. What is the interpretation of Payam's $t_{\rm h}$?
%
\begin{itemize}
\item The two $t_{\rm h}$s are measuring different things. Payam's $t_{\rm h}$ is considering the {\it diffusion }of a particle's
momentum: momentum, or the vorticity of the fluid; or the characteristic time in the velocity
autocorrelation. autocorrelation of neighbouring particles. My $t_{\rm h}$ is about information flow via sonic waves: this is much smaller than the vorticity time-scale.\\
I want to think about {\it which time scale is more appropriate in this context and why?}
\item So, {\it what should the time-scale be from }physical {\it reasoning: what is the physics behind establishing the flow profile $\vec{v}(\vec{x})$ in the fluid around the DNA/jet?}\\
