Viscosity

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, relating the shearing stress between layers to the rate of change in velocity between them. There are two types of viscosity: absolute (or dynamic) viscosity, which is the ratio of shearing stress to shear rate, and kinematic viscosity, which is absolute viscosity divided by density and represents the ratio of a fluid's dynamic viscosity to its mass density. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculations of both absolute and kinematic viscosity using standard SI and English units.

VISCOSITY

VISCOSITY
- it is a measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid.

-(in everyday term – fluid's thickness or thinness


- It may be defined as the ratio of the shearing stress or force
between adjacent layers of fluid to the rate of change of velocity
perpendicular to the direction of motion.
TYPES OF VISCOSITY
1. Absolute Viscosity or Dynamic Viscosity – is the ratio of
the fluid layer shearing stress to that of the shear stress
rate.

2. Kinematic Viscosity – is defined as the absolute viscosity


divided by density. It is the ratio of the dynamic viscosity
of a fluid to its mass density.
1. Absolute Viscosity or Dynamic Viscosity – is the ratio of the
fluid layer shearing stress to that of the shear stress rate.
Dynamic Viscosity in SI - CGS, MKS
Dynamic Viscosity in English Units
2. Kinematic Viscosity – is defined as the absolute viscosity
divided by density. It is the ratio of the dynamic viscosity of a
fluid to its mass density.
