Dynamic viscosity (dyn.visc.)

Synonym

 Coefficient of internal friction

Abbreviation

 Dyn.visc.

Definition in words

Shear stress in the x,z plane in a fluid divided by velocity gradient perpendicular to the plane of shear (Reference 1)

Note 1: Shear stress is the “force acting tangentially to a surface divided by the area of the surface” (F/A)

Note 2: Velocity gradient is change of velocity divided by elapsed time (ΔV/ΔT)

Definition by equation

Systematic terms
