What is Fluid Mechanics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases”. It involves a wide range of applications such as calculating force & moments, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space, and modelling fission weapon detonation.

What are the Applications of Fluid Dynamics?

Fluid Dynamics can be applied in the following ways: Fluid dynamics is used to calculate the forces acting upon the aeroplane. It is used to find the flow rates of material such as petroleum from pipelines. It can also be used in traffic engineering (traffic treated as continuous liquid flow).

How to Calculate Viscosity using Viscometer?

Viscosity using Viscometer calculator uses Dynamic Viscosity = ((Torque*Thickness of Fluid Layer)/(4*(pi^2)*(Radius of Inner Cylinder^3)*Revolutions per Second*Length of Cylinder)) to calculate the Dynamic Viscosity, The Viscosity using Viscometer formula is defined as the function of torque, thickness of fluid layer, radius of inner cylinder, revolutions per second & length of cylinder. In one-dimensional shear flow of Newtonian fluids, shear stress can be expressed by the linear relationship where the constant of proportionality 𝜇 is called the coefficient of viscosity or the dynamic (or absolute) viscosity of the fluid. The rate of deformation (velocity gradient) of a Newtonian fluid is proportional to shear stress, and the constant of proportionality is the viscosity. Dynamic Viscosity is denoted by μ_viscosity symbol.
