Viscosity provides a resistance to a fluid being squirted out, say, between a crankshaft and a bearing journal under pressure. So measuring viscosity will be important for predicting how much protection a given fluid will provide.

The meaning of viscosity in Malayalam is സദൃശത്വം (sadṛśatvam). It refers to the property of a fluid that resists flow.


What is viscosity of fluid?

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It is a property that describes how easily a fluid can deform or be sheared. Higher viscosity fluids are more resistant to flow, while lower viscosity fluids flow more easily.


What is a physical property that describes how quickly or slow a fluid flows?

Viscosity is the physical property that describes how quickly or slowly a fluid flows. It is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation or flow. Fluids with high viscosity flow more slowly, while fluids with low viscosity flow more quickly.

What is the property of a fluid that represents it's resistance to flow?

Viscosity is the property of a fluid that represents its resistance to flow. It determines how easily a fluid can deform or flow under an applied force. High viscosity fluids flow more slowly than low viscosity fluids.

A fluid resistance to flow?

Viscosity is the fluid property that measures its resistance to flow. It determines how easily a fluid can deform and flow. Fluids with high viscosity, like honey, flow more slowly than fluids with low viscosity, like water.


What does viscoisity mean?

Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". ~ Wikipedia


What is The property of a fluid that describes its resistance to flow is?

The property of a fluid that describes its resistance to flow is viscosity. It is a measure of the internal friction of a fluid as it moves and determines how easily the fluid can flow. Fluids with high viscosity are thicker and flow more slowly, while fluids with low viscosity are thinner and flow more easily.


Is viscosity scalar?

No, viscosity is a property of a fluid that describes its resistance to flow. It is a tensor quantity as it depends on both the internal structure of the fluid and its motion.
