Kinematic Viscosity in Dynamics of Fluid Flow Formulas

The Kinematic Viscosity is an atmospheric variable defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity μ and the density ρ of the fluid. And is denoted by v'. Kinematic Viscosity is usually measured using the Stokes for Kinematic Viscosity. Note that the value of Kinematic Viscosity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Kinematic Viscosity?

The Kinematic Viscosity is an atmospheric variable defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity μ and the density ρ of the fluid. Kinematic Viscosity is usually measured using the Stokes for Kinematic Viscosity. Note that the value of Kinematic Viscosity is always positive.

Can the Kinematic Viscosity be negative?

No, the Kinematic Viscosity, measured in Kinematic Viscosity cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Kinematic Viscosity?

Kinematic Viscosity is usually measured using the Stokes[St] for Kinematic Viscosity. Square Meter per Second[St], Square Meter per Hour[St], Square Centimeter per Second[St] are the few other units in which Kinematic Viscosity can be measured.
