contents We consider a microscopic model of spherical particles with inertia in a Stokes flow. As the particle number grows to infinity and their size goes to zero we derive the monokinetic Vlasov-Stokes equations as mean-field limit. We do this under the assumption that the particles have initial velocities given by a Lipschitz velocity profile and prove the mean-field limit for times of the order of the inverse Lipschitz constant. Notably this is not a perturbative result. In particular, we do not require the inertia of the particles to vanish in the limit. Thereby the result improves upon the perturbative derivation in [HS23] in the case of a monokinetic limit density.
