Viscosity
The viscosity, dynamic or absolute viscosity expresses the readiness with
which a fluid flows when it is acted upon by an external force. The absolute
viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to internal deformation or
shear.
The kinematic viscosity is the ratio of the absolute viscosity to the mass
density:
