How does higher viscous magma flow?

Higher viscous magma flows slower and with more difficulty compared to lower viscous magma. This is because higher viscous magma has a higher resistance to flow due to its thicker consistency, which can result in more explosive and violent eruptions.


Does ketchup have viscous?

By viscous, I think you mean viscosity. Viscous is a adjective referring to the thickness of a substance; therefore, yes, ketchup is somewhat viscous.


How deformation happens in non crystalline material?

In non-crystalline materials, deformation occurs through the movement of dislocations or structural defects. These materials lack the long-range order seen in crystalline materials, so deformation tends to happen through the rearrangement of atoms over a wider area, leading to plasticity. Non-crystalline materials deform through mechanisms such as viscous flow or ductile fracture, depending on their composition and structure.


What is the definition of viscosity?

Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids becomes less viscous as the liquid's temperature increases, becoming more viscous as the fluid gets cooler. A viscous fluid is sticky, thick and syrupy to a greater or lesser extent. Examples Treacle is quite viscous, but water is not. Hot engine oil is less viscous ('thinner') and runs more quickly and smoothly than cold engine oil.


What are the characteristics of viscous lava flows?

Viscous lava flows are typically thicker and move more slowly than less viscous lava flows. They have a higher silica content, which makes them more resistant to flow. Viscous lava flows tend to form steep-sided volcanoes and are associated with explosive eruptions.

What is the difference between viscous and non viscous fluid flow?

Viscous fluid flow occurs when a fluid's viscosity causes resistance to flow, leading to the formation of layers within the fluid. Non-viscous fluid flow, on the other hand, involves a fluid that flows without resistance or layering, typically with low viscosity.


Does Pascal's law apply to viscous fluids?

No, Pascal's law applies to non-viscous (incompressible) fluids. Viscous fluids have internal friction that causes them to resist flow and deform. This results in a different behavior compared to non-viscous fluids governed by Pascal's law.


Is blood Viscous or non viscous?

Blood is viscous, as it contains a hugely populous density of red blood cells therefore making it viscous. A comparison would be to water, which is less than 3 times as viscous as blood, as it contains around less than 3 times the amount of molecules than in blood.

What does the word non viscous mean?

Non-viscous is a scientific term that refers to the pouring characteristic of a liquid. A non-viscous liquid is one that pours thinly, with minimal bulging, drop formation or trailing string formation. An example of a non-viscous liquid would be alcohol; a viscous liquid (the opposite) would be maple syrup.


Why do very viscous fluids tend to be difficult to pour or flow easily?

Viscous fluids are difficult to pour or flow easily because they have high resistance to deformation and flow. This resistance is due to the strong intermolecular forces present in viscous fluids, which make it harder for the molecules to move past each other. As a result, viscous fluids flow slowly and require more force to pour compared to less viscous fluids.


What makes stocks liquid?

Stock's flow means a slow flow of very viscous liquid when non-linear inertia's component can be neglected with respect to the value of friction force in the liquid. Re<<1


Is glass viscous at room temperature?

Glass is not considered viscous at room temperature. It is a solid material that does not flow or deform over time like a viscous liquid would.

What is viscous flux?

Viscous flux usually refers to laminar flow. In most contexts, it refers to something like creeping flow or Poiseuille flow. Viscous flus usually arises from an external body force acting on a fluid. The external body force is usually pressure, or in some instances, centripetal force or magnetism.
