Question: What is viscosity? Answer: When a liquid flows as a result of an external force, there is internal frictional resistance between the liquid molecules, resulting in a certain degree of viscosity. This viscosity is what is referred to as the fluid’s stickiness. The greater the internal frictional resistance between the molecules, the higher the viscosity. The unit of viscosity is dynes·second per square centimeter; this is commonly known as “poise”. In practical applications, however, 1/100 of a poise is often used as the unit, which is called “centipoise”.
Viscosity (a qualitative concept): It is a physical quantity with rheological properties that represents a fluid’s resistance to flow and quantifies its resistance to deformation under flow conditions. It is a physical quantity that measures the viscosity of a fluid.

Viscosity refers to the resistance that a fluid exhibits to flow. When a fluid (gas or liquid) flows, and one part flows over another, it encounters resistance; this is the internal friction of the fluid. To make a fluid flow, a tangential force must be applied in the direction of flow to counteract the resistance. The physical meaning of the viscosity coefficient (abbreviated as viscosity) η is: the tangential force required to maintain a unit velocity difference between two liquid layers separated by a unit distance, per unit area of those layers. Its unit is poise (g·cm-1·s-1) in the c·g·s system, and Pascal·second (Pa·s or kg·m-1·s-1) in the SI system; 1 poise equals 0.1 Pascal·second.

When a liquid flows under the action of an external force, the cohesive forces between molecules prevent relative movement between them, resulting in an internal friction force; this property of liquids is known as the viscosity of the liquid
