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

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