Meaning of Viscosity from wikipedia

- Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's rate-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another...
- The viscosity index (VI) is an arbitrary, unit-less measure of a fluid's change in viscosity relative to temperature change. It is mostly used to characterize...
- the apparent viscosity is constant, and equal to the Newtonian viscosity of the fluid, but for non-Newtonian fluids, the apparent viscosity depends on the...
- Look up viscosity in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Viscosity (commonly perceived as "thickness", or resistance to pouring) is the measure of the resistance...
- Volume viscosity (also called bulk viscosity, or second viscosity or, dilatational viscosity) is a material property relevant for characterizing fluid...
- antiwear additives, detergents, dispersants, and, for multi-grade oils, viscosity index improvers.[citation needed] The main function of motor oil is to...
- Viscosity depends strongly on temperature. In liquids it usually decreases with increasing temperature, whereas, in most gases, viscosity increases with...
- not follow Newton's law of viscosity, that is, it has variable viscosity dependent on stress. In particular, the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids can...
