What is Viscosity?

The Viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of thickness: for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water.

How to Calculate Relative Importance of Viscosity given Length and Velocity Scales?

Relative Importance of Viscosity given Length and Velocity Scales calculator uses Relative Importance of Viscosity = Kinematic Viscosity/(Length Scale*Velocity Scale) to calculate the Relative Importance of Viscosity, The Relative Importance of Viscosity given Length and Velocity Scales is defined as the flow situation, say with a velocity scale of 1ms−1 and a length scale of 2 m we find this ratio to be about 0.5 × 10−6, and so we can ignore the effects of viscosity. Relative Importance of Viscosity is denoted by R_i symbol.

How to calculate Relative Importance of Viscosity given Length and Velocity Scales using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Importance of Viscosity given Length and Velocity Scales, enter Kinematic Viscosity (v_k), Length Scale (L) & Velocity Scale (V) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Importance of Viscosity given Length and Velocity Scales calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.0004 = 0.22/(30*18.33).
