The stress tensor measures varies fluid stresses. Its usual form is:

\mathbf{T}=\rho\vec{\mathbf{v}}\vec{\mathbf{v}}+\left(p+\frac{B^{2}}{8\pi}\right)\vec{\vec{\mathbf{I}}}-\frac{\vec{\mathbf{B}}\vec{\mathbf{B}}}{4\pi}

\vec{\vec{\mathbf{I}}} is the identity matrix, and \vec{\mathbf{B}}\vec{\mathbf{B}}/4\pi is the magnetic stress.
