Velocity Gradient

on . Posted in Classical Mechanics

velocity gradientVelocity gradient, abbreviated as \(\nu\) (Greek symbol nu), is how the velocity of a fluid changes between parallel planes or different points within the fluid.

 

Velocity gradient formula

\( \nu =  v \;/\; l \)     (Velocity Gradient)

\( v =  \nu \; l  \)

\( l =  v \;/\; \nu \)

Symbol English Metric
\( \nu \)   (Greek symbol nu) = velocity gradient  \(ft \;/\; sec\) \(m \;/\; s\) 
\( v \) = velocity \(ft \;/\; sec\) \(m \;/\; s\)
\( l \) = distance \(ft\) \(m\)
