1 sty 2018 · Viscosity is the resistance to gradual deformation of a medium under shear stress. The viscosity can be independent (“Newtonian” or “ideal-viscous” media) or dependent...
The behavior of a fluid in flow is very much related to two intrinsic properties of the fluid: density and viscosity. For example, a solid body moving through a gas has to overcome a certain resistance which depends on the relative velocity between fluid and solid, the shape of the solid, the density of the gas and its viscosity.
The property of a fluid to resist the growth of shear deformation is called viscosity. The form of the relation between shear stress and rate of strain depends on a fluid, and most common fluids obey Newton’s law of viscosity, which states that the shear stress is proportional to the strain rate: dγ τ = μ. . dt.

We begin with viscosity in shear and in dilation. We then consider a fluid in a homogeneous state, define stress and velocity gradient, develop thermodynamics of deformation, and construct the model of linear, isotropic, viscous fluids. We end with basic equations that govern inhomogeneous state.
fluid flow. solid surface. The magnitude of the drag force on a fluid is characterized by its viscosity η. Demo: The effects of dissipation show up as a pressure gradient at constant height y. direction of flow. Within a tube, there is a velocity gradient in the presence of viscosity: no viscosity. with viscosity.
1 sty 2014 · Viscosity is the resistance of fluids to motion. The dynamic viscosity at a point of a homogeneous fluid, μ, is defined as the ratio of the local shear stress, τ, and the local velocity gradient, also called the rate of shear, γ. The kinematic viscosity of a fluid, ν, is equal to the ratio μ / ρf.
