    Sep 17, 2024 · viscosity, resistance of a fluid (liquid or gas) to a change in shape, or movement of neighbouring portions relative to one another. Viscosity denotes opposition to flow. The reciprocal of the viscosity is called the fluidity, a measure of the ease of flow. Molasses, for example, has a greater viscosity than water.

    Aug 31, 2024 · It refers to the informal definition of "thickness" in liquids: syrup, for example, has a higher viscosity than water.A viscous fluid is a real fluid that flows with some resistance in the opposite direction of its flow. The resistance is called viscosity, and the fluid is viscous. For example – honey is viscous fluid.

    Jan 18, 2024 · Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity of a fluid (liquid or gas), the slower it traverses across a surface. Imagine dripping maple syrup on your waffles for your breakfast. Maple syrup, a very viscous fluid, would pour slower than when you pour milk on your cereal as milk's viscosity is much lower.
