Viscous Stress in Fluid Mechanics Formulas

The Viscous Stress is the internal resistance of a fluid to flow, which arises due to the fluid’s viscosity and affects the behavior of fluids in pipes. And is denoted by V_s. Viscous Stress is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Viscous Stress is always negative.
