Viscosity Flashcards
represents the internal resistance of a fluid motion or the “fluidity” of that property
Viscosity
force a flowing fluid exerts on a body in the flow direction
Magnitude depends on the viscosity
Drag force
force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the compound stress
shear stress

ratio of dynamic viscosity to density
kinematic viscosity
common unit of kinetmatic velocity
stoke
1 stoke = 1cm^2/s
another word for dynamic velocity
absolute viscosity
tangential force per unit area required to move one horizontal plane with respect to another plane
coefficient of viscosity/ dynamic (absolute) viscosity

common viscosity unit
poise
1 poise = 0.1 Pa.s
the rate of deformation (velocity gradient) of a Newtonian fluid is ____ to sheer stress (the constant of proportionality is the viscocity
proportional
For non-Newtonian fluids, the relationship between shear stress and rate of deformation is_______
not linear
slope of the curve on the τ v s du/dy chart of fluid
apparent viscosity
fluids for which the apparent viscosity increases with the rate of deformation (e.g. solution with suspended starch or sand)
dilutant or shear thickening fluids
fluid becomes less viscous as it is sheared harder
e.g. some paints, polymer solutions and fluids with suspended particles
pseudoplastic/shear thinning fluids
