Wall shear stress over the surface of the obstacle normalized by the mean wall shear stress along the whole surface. The Reynolds number of the flow is Re ~ 8. As the wall shear stress is proportional to the mass flux, the erosion is most efficient near the top and bottom of the obstacle (marked with red) and least efficient near the stagnation points of the flow (marked with purple).
