general relativity - Visualizing Ricci Tensor



By definition Ricci Tensor is a Tensor formed by contracting two indices of Riemann Tensor. Riemann Tensor can be visualized in terms of a curve, a vector is moving and orientation of the initial and final vector. However, the operation of contraction of indices which give rise to Ricci Tensor doesn't give any visual sense.


I would like you guys to help me visualize Ricci Tensor.

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
