Fluid Properties
In a Nut Shell: The table below lists
the most important properties. There
are several models
of fluids involving viscosity. The Newtonian
model, where shear stress is directly proportional
to shear strain, involves the property of dynamic viscosity. Property Symbol Dimensions Units
Note: Fluids include liquids and gases. Liquids are nearly incompressible whereas
gases are quite
compressible. The study of elementary
fluid mechanics centers mostly on liquids. |
