\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: the characteristic time in the velocity autocorrelation. 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 reasoning: what is the physics behind establishing the flow profile $\vec{v}(\vec{x})$ in the fluid around the DNA/jet?}(Reference: \citet{Broman_Rudenko_2010}, \citet{1959flme.book.....L} pp. 86-88).  \item {\it Does Payam assume incompressible flow?} Yes -- he follows \citet{1959flme.book.....L} pp. 86-88 in setting up the submerged jet; they assume zero divergence in the velocity field \& use stress tensor for incompressible flow. (The derivation in \citet{Broman_Rudenko_2010} also assumes incompressibility.) This means that the sound speed in his model will be infinite, and sonic information transfer will be irrelevant.
