Kinematic Viscosity
Kinematic viscosity, abbreviated as \(\nu \) (Greek symbol nu), is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density or the resistive flow of a fluid under the influance of gravity.
Kinematic Viscosity formulas
\(\large{ \nu = \frac{\mu}{\rho} }\) | |
\(\large{ \nu = Pr \; \alpha }\) | (Prandtl number) |
\(\large{ \nu = Sc \; D_m }\) | (Schmidt number) |
Where:
\(\large{ \nu }\) (Greek symbol nu) = kinematic viscosity
\(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density
\(\large{ \mu }\) (Greek symbol mu) = dynamic viscosity
\(\large{ D_m }\) = mass diffusivity
\(\large{ Pr }\) = Prandtl number
\(\large{ Sc }\) = Schmidt number
\(\large{ \alpha }\) (Greek symbol alpha) = thermal diffusivity
