Sludge is Non-Newtonian fluid so the viscosity will not be constant with shear stress, it changes. Therefore, I would either use the right equation taking into consideration the
shear stress with strain relationship, or to make it easy if you can model the sludge as
some heavy oil or something where you can just use a constant viscosity for that.
The kinematic viscosity of a fluid is found by dividing the dynamic viscosity by the density of the fluid. The kinematic viscosity of water changes depending on the temperature of the water. It ranges from .29 SI units to 1.787 SI units.
Heat decreases viscosity. Lower viscosity means thinner like water. An example of higher viscosity would probably be honey.
The viscosity of diesel fuel is directly dependent upon the temperature at which it's kept. At 100 degrees, the viscosity may be as much as 140 SSU. The higher the temperature, the lower SSU, so at 130 degrees the viscosity may only be 70 SSU.
Viscosity of a liquid is basically it's thickness as compared to water
1. Molasses 2. Honey Both have higher viscosity than water.
The viscosity is similar to the viscosity of water.
For example the viscosity of water.
There are a few ways to increase the viscosity of water. One thing to add to water to increase viscosity is sugar.
Viscosity. :)
water has a low viscosity. substitute viscosity for its meaning, resistanse to flow. Water has a low resistance to flow
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.

You can use plain water to get sludge out of your car radiator. You can use Marvel Mystery oil to remove sludge from the oil pan.
viscosity is affected by heat and water.by adding water viscosity decreases,by heating viscosity increases....
I may be wrong but i do believe there is 0.8% water in sludge 60% of the time, all the time.
Information on the Viscosity (how easy it flows) of water can be found on the Wikipedia page for Water. Here it has information on the Viscosity of water in its various states (Solid, Liquid and Gas).
