KINEMATIC VISCOSITY

Kinematic viscosity
Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of the two physical properties of the fluid.
It is also defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity and density of a fluid.
Mathematically


  • M. K. S. and S. I. unit: - m2/s
  • G. S. unit: - cm2/s
  • One cm2/s is known as one stroke
  • one stroke = One cm2/s = (1/100)2/s= 10-4  m2/s
  • The practical unit of kinematic viscosity is centistoke
  • 1 centistoke = (1/100) stoke
