Principles of Viscosity & Definitions
Viscosity is a quantity describing a fluid’s resistance to flow. Fluidsresist the relative motion of immersed objects through them as well asto the motion of layers with differing velocities within them.
Formally, viscosity (represented by the symbol η) is the ratio of theshearing stress (F/A) to the velocity gradient (∆vx/∆z or dvx/dz) in a fluid.
The more usual form of this relationship is called “Newton’s equation.”It states the resulting shear of a fluid is directly proportional to the forceapplied and inversely proportional to its viscosity. Note the similarity toNewton’s second law of motion (F = ma).
Viscosity SI Units
According to NIST’s Guide for the International System of Units (SI), theproper SI units for expressing values of viscosity η (also calleddynamic viscosity) and values of kinematic viscosity ν are, respectively,the Pascal second (Pa·s) and the meter squared per second (m2/s) (andtheir decimal multiples and submultiples as appropriate).
The Pascal second [Pa·s] has no special name. And, although touted asan international system, the International System of Units (SI) has hadvery little international impact. The Pascal second is rarely used in sci-entific and technical publications today.
The most common unit of viscosity is the dyne second per squarecentimeter (dyne · s/cm2), which is given the name poise (P) after theFrench physiologist Jean Louis Poiseuille (1799-1869). Ten poise equalone Pascal second (Pa·s) making the centipoise (cP) and millipascalsecond (mPa·s) identical.

There are actually two quantities called viscosity. The quantity definedabove usually is just called viscosity. However, it sometimes is alsocalled dynamic viscosity, absolute viscosity, or simple viscosity to dis-tinguish it from the other quantity.
Dynamic, Absolute, or Simple Viscosity
whereVa = dynamic, absolute, or simple viscosityA = a viscometer constantB = a viscometer constantt = time for a volume of fluid to pass through an aperture
Kinematic Viscosity
The other quantity, called kinematic viscosity (represented by the sym-bol ν), is the ratio of the viscosity of a fluid to its density.
Kinematic viscosity is a measure of the resistive flow of a fluid underthe influence of gravity. It is frequently measured by a “capillary viscometer” — basically a graduated can with a narrow tube at the bot-tom. When two fluids of equal volume are placed in identical capillaryviscometers and allowed to flow under the influence of gravity, a viscous fluid takes longer than a less viscous fluid to flow through thetube.

The SI unit of kinematic viscosity is the square meter per second (m2/s),which also has no special name. This unit is so large it is rarely used. Amore common unit of kinematic viscosity is the square centimeter persecond (cm2/s), which has been given the name stoke [St] after the Eng-lish scientist George Stoke. Since this unit is also large, the more com-monly used unit is the square millimeter per second (mm2/s) or centis-toke (cSt).
According to NIST’s Guide for the International System of Units (SI), theCGS units commonly used to express values of these quantities, thepoise (P) and the stokes (St), respectively [and their decimal submulti-ples the centipoise (cP) and the centistoke (cSt)], are not to be used.However, since CGS units are, in fact, the most widely used terms, theyare included in this ISA Handbook.

Measuring Viscosity
Hagen-Poiseuille’s Law
French physician and physiologist Jean Poiseuille, while developing animproved method for measuring blood pressure, formulated a mathe-matical expression for the flow rate for the laminar (nonturbulent) flowof fluids in circular tubes. Discovered independently by Gotthilf Hagen,a German hydraulic engineer, this relation is also known as the Hagen-Poiseuille equation, or Hagen-Poiseuille Law.
For laminar, non-pulsatile fluid flow through a uniform straight pipe, theflow rate (volume per unit time) is:
• directly proportional to the pressure difference between theends of the tube,
• inversely proportional to the length of the tube, • inversely proportional to the viscosity of the fluid, and • proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the tube.
Stoke’s Law
George Gabriel Stokes, an Irish-born mathematician who spent much ofhis life working with fluid properties, is most famous for his workdescribing the motion of a sphere through viscous fluids. This led to thedevelopment of Stokes’s Law – an equation that shows the forceneeded to move a small sphere through a continuous, quiescent fluid ata certain velocity. It is based primarily on the radius of the sphere and the viscosity of the fluid. He found what has become known asStokes’ Law:
The drag force on a sphere of radius (R) moving through a fluid of vis-cosity η at speed Vc is given by:
WhereR = the radius of the sphereη = the viscosityVc = the velocity through a continuous fluid
The faster a sphere falls through a fluid, the lower the viscosity. Themeasurement involves dropping a sphere through a measured distance of fluid and measuring how long it takes to traverse the distance.

Since you know distance and time, you also know velocity, which is dis-tance/time. A formula for determining the viscosity in this manner is:
