are mostly incompressible while the density of gases changes
with pressure and temperature.

Physical Nature and Significance of
Viscosity in Fluid Flow
Real Fluids
● Tangential or shearing forces always develop where there is motion
relative to solid body
● Thus, fluid friction is created
● Shear forces oppose motion of one particle past another
● Friction forces gives rise to a fluid property called viscosity
Viscosity
● A measure of a fluid's resistance to angular deformation, e.g.,
– Motor oil: high viscosity, feels sticky
– Gasoline: low viscosity, flows “faster”
● Friction forces result from cohesion and momentum interchange
between molecules.
viscosity
temperature
Different materials
● In B.G. Units
● In S.I. Units
● The poise (P):
– Metric unit of viscosity
– Named after Jean Louis Poiseuille (1799-1869)
– The poise: 1 P = 0.10 N⋅s/m2
– The centipoise: 1 cP = 0.01 P = 1 mN⋅s/m2
– For water at 68.4o F (20.22o C), μ = 1 cP
Viscosity
– Kinematic viscosity
● Ratio of absolute viscosity to density
● Appears in many problems in fluids
● Called kinematic viscosity because it involves no force (dynamic)
dimensions
● B.G. Units = ft2 /sec, S.I. Units = m2 /s
● The stoke (St) – Metric unit of kinematic viscosity – Named after Sir
George Stokes (1819-1903) – The centistoke: 1 cSt = 0.01 St = 10-6 m2 /s
– Kinematic vs. Dynamic
● μ for most fluids is virtually independent of pressure for the range of
interest to engineers ● ν for gases varies strongly with pressure
because of changes in density ( ρ )
● To determine ν at non-standard pressures, look up the pressure-
independent value of μ and calculate ν = μ/ρ.
● To calculate ρ use the perfect gas law.
