absolute viscosity n (General Physics) a full name for viscosity, used to distinguish it from kinematic viscosity and specific viscosity ThesaurusNoun | 1. | absolute viscosity - a measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid under an applied forcecoefficient of viscosity, dynamic viscositycoefficient - a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic |
absolute viscosity
absolute viscosity[′ab·sə‚lüt vis′käs·ə·dē] (fluid mechanics) The tangential force per unit area of two parallel planes at unit distance apart when the space between them is filled with a fluid and one plane moves with unit velocity in its own plane relative to the other. Also known as coefficient of viscosity. absolute viscosity
ab·so·lute vis·cos·i·tyforce per unit area applied tangentially to a fluid, causing unit rate of displacement of parallel planes separated by a unit distance; units of measure in the centimeter-gram-second (or CGS) system are termed poises.absolute viscosity
