  2. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    Under standard atmospheric conditions (25 °C and pressure of 1 bar), the dynamic viscosity of air is 18.5 μPa·s, roughly 50 times smaller than the viscosity of water at the same temperature. Except at very high pressure, the viscosity of air depends mostly on the temperature.

  3. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The viscosity is not a material constant, but a material property that depends on temperature, pressure, fluid mixture composition, local velocity variations. This functional relationship is described by a mathematical viscosity model called a constitutive equation which is usually far more complex than the defining equation of shear viscosity.

  4. Volume viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_viscosity

    which depends only on equilibrium state variables like temperature and density (equation of state). In general, the trace of the stress tensor is the sum of thermodynamic pressure contribution and another contribution which is proportional to the divergence of the velocity field. This coefficient of proportionality is called volume viscosity.

  5. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    The density and viscosity are those belonging to the fluid. [23] Note that purely laminar flow only exists up to Re = 10 under this definition. Under the condition of low Re, the relationship between force and speed of motion is given by Stokes' law. [24] At higher Reynolds numbers the drag on a sphere depends on surface roughness.

  6. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    Apart from its dependence of pressure and temperature, the second viscosity coefficient also depends on the process, that is to say, the second viscosity coefficient is not just a material property. Example: in the case of a sound wave with a definitive frequency that alternatively compresses and expands a fluid element, the second viscosity ...

  7. Laminar flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar_flow

    When a fluid is flowing through a closed channel such as a pipe or between two flat plates, either of two types of flow may occur depending on the velocity and viscosity of the fluid: laminar flow or turbulent flow. Laminar flow occurs at lower velocities, below a threshold at which the flow becomes turbulent.

    Apart from its dependence of pressure and temperature, the second viscosity coefficient also depends on the process, that is to say, the second viscosity coefficient is not just a material property. Example: in the case of a sound wave with a definitive frequency that alternatively compresses and expands a fluid element, the second viscosity ...

  9. Viscometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscometer

    The rotational speed of the sphere depends on the rotational velocity of the magnetic field, the magnitude of the magnetic field and the viscosity of the sample around the sphere. The motion of the sphere is monitored by a video camera ⑤ located below the cell.
