VISCOSITY COEFFICIENT

Specialty Definition: VISCOSITY COEFFICIENT

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

The ratio of the shearing component of stress to the velocity gradient in a fluid where the stress acts across a plane perpendicular to the direction of the velocity gradient. Also called viscosity. See also dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity, eddy viscosity. (references)

Mining

A numerical factor that measures the internal resistance of a fluid to flow; it equals the shearing force in dynes per square centimeter transmitted from one fluid to another that is 1 cm away, and generated by the difference in fluid velocities of 1 cm/s in the two planes. The greater the resistance to flow, the larger the coefficient.Syn:absolute viscosity; dynamic viscosity. (references)
