  2. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic viscosity of n centiPoise, and its density is not too different from that of water, then its kinematic viscosity is around n centiStokes. For gas, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 10 to 20 microPascal-seconds, or 0.01 to 0.02 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 0.5 to 5 kg/m^3.

  3. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Also assume the center is moving fastest while the liquid touching the walls of the tube is stationary (due to the no-slip condition). To figure out the motion of the liquid, all forces acting on each lamina must be known: The pressure force pushing the liquid through the tube is the change in pressure multiplied by the area: F = −A Δp. This ...

  4. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's rate-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another. [1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of thickness; for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. [2]

  5. Shear thinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_thinning

    The value of η ∞ represents the lowest viscosity attainable and may be orders of magnitude lower than η 0, depending on the degree of shear thinning. Viscosity is plotted against shear rate in a log(η) vs. log( γ ˙ {\displaystyle {\dot {\gamma }}} ) plot, where the linear region is the shear-thinning regime and can be expressed using the ...

  6. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    Slime flows under low stresses but breaks under higher stresses. Flubber, also commonly known as slime, is a non-Newtonian fluid, easily made from polyvinyl alcohol–based glues (such as white "school" glue) and borax. It flows under low stresses but breaks under higher stresses and pressures.

  7. Thixotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thixotropy

    Pressure on the oar often results in a highly viscous (more solid) thixotropic mud on the high pressure side of the blade, and low viscosity (very fluid) thixotropic mud on the low pressure side of the oar blade. Flow from the high pressure side to the low pressure side of the oar blade is non-Newtonian.

  8. Inviscid flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inviscid_flow

    His hypothesis establishes that for fluids of low viscosity, shear forces due to viscosity are evident only in thin regions at the boundary of the fluid, adjacent to solid surfaces. Outside these regions, and in regions of favorable pressure gradient, viscous shear forces are absent so the fluid flow field can be assumed to be the same as the ...

  9. Magmatic water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magmatic_water

    Rhyolitic magma is felsic and the most abundant in silica, potassium, and sodium but the lowest in iron, magnesium, and calcium. [1] [3] The silica composition of rhyolitic magma ranges from 65-75 wt.%. [1] It forms in the lowest temperature range, from about 1200 °F to 1470 °F. [1], [3] Rhyolitic magma has the highest viscosity and gas ...
