Viscosity Coefficient in Hypersonic Flow Formulas

The Viscosity Coefficient is the ratio of applied stress to the rate of straining (change of strain with time). And is denoted by η. Viscosity Coefficient is usually measured using the Pascal Second for Dynamic Viscosity. Note that the value of Viscosity Coefficient is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Viscosity Coefficient?

The Viscosity Coefficient is the ratio of applied stress to the rate of straining (change of strain with time). Viscosity Coefficient is usually measured using the Pascal Second for Dynamic Viscosity. Note that the value of Viscosity Coefficient is always positive.

Can the Viscosity Coefficient be negative?

No, the Viscosity Coefficient, measured in Dynamic Viscosity cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Viscosity Coefficient?

Viscosity Coefficient is usually measured using the Pascal Second[Pa*s] for Dynamic Viscosity. Newton Second per Square Meter[Pa*s], Millinewton Second per Square Meter[Pa*s], Dyne Second per Square Centimeter[Pa*s] are the few other units in which Viscosity Coefficient can be measured.
