  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. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The dilute gas viscosity contribution to the total viscosity of a fluid will only be important when predicting the viscosity of vapors at low pressures or the viscosity of dense fluids at high temperatures. The viscosity model for dilute gas, that is shown above, is widely used throughout the industry and applied science communities.

  4. Temperature dependence of viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_dependence_of...

    A simple and widespread empirical correlation for liquid viscosity is a two-parameter exponential: = / This equation was first proposed in 1913, and is commonly known as the Andrade equation (named after British physicist Edward Andrade). It accurately describes many liquids over a range of temperatures.

    For instance, a 20% saline (sodium chloride) solution has viscosity over 1.5 times that of pure water, whereas a 20% potassium iodide solution has viscosity about 0.91 times that of pure water. An idealized model of dilute electrolytic solutions leads to the following prediction for the viscosity μ s {\displaystyle \mu _{s}} of a solution: [ 57 ]

  6. Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid

    the fluid is assumed to be isotropic, as with gases and simple liquids, and consequently is an isotropic tensor; furthermore, since the deviatoric stress tensor is symmetric, by Helmholtz decomposition it can be expressed in terms of two scalar Lamé parameters, the second viscosity and the dynamic viscosity, as it is usual in linear elasticity:

  7. Viscosity solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_solution

    It has been found that the viscosity solution is the natural solution concept to use in many applications of PDE's, including for example first order equations arising in dynamic programming (the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation), differential games (the Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs equation) or front evolution problems, [1] [2] as well as ...

  9. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    Knowing the terminal velocity, the size and density of the sphere, and the density of the liquid, Stokes' law can be used to calculate the viscosity of the fluid. A series of steel ball bearings of different diameters are normally used in the classic experiment to improve the accuracy of the calculation.
