Velocity Gradient in Fluid Mechanics Formulas

The Velocity Gradient is the rate of change of fluid velocity with respect to distance in a pipe, indicating how quickly the flow speed varies within the fluid. And is denoted by VG. Velocity Gradient is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Velocity Gradient is always negative.
