STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Shear Stress = (Dynamic Viscosity*Change in Velocity)
𝜏 = (μviscosity*dv)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Shear Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
Change in Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Change in Velocity is the difference between the velocities of the adjacent fluid layers.

Shear stress due to viscosity Formula

Shear Stress = (Dynamic Viscosity*Change in Velocity)
𝜏 = (μviscosity*dv)

How are shear stress and flow velocity related?

The Newtonian fluids behave according to the law that shear stress is linearly proportional to velocity gradient or rate of shear strain. Thus for these fluids, the plot of shear stress against velocity gradient is a straight line through the origin. The slope of the line determines the viscosity.

What is the shear stress in fluids?

Fluid shear stress refers to the stress coplanar component along with a cross-section of material. This occurs due to the component's force vector that is analogous to the cross-section.
