Shear Stress due to Viscosity Formula

Shear Stress = Viscosity*Change in Velocity
𝜏 = μ*d_v

How are shear stress and flow velocity related?

The Newtonian fluids behave according to the law that shear stress is linearly proportional to velocity gradient or rate of shear strain. Thus for these fluids, the plot of shear stress against velocity gradient is a straight line through the origin. The slope of the line determines the viscosity.

What is the shear stress in fluids?

Fluid shear stress refers to the stress coplanar component along with a cross-section of material. This occurs due to the component's force vector that is analogous to the cross-section.

How to Calculate Shear Stress due to Viscosity?

Shear Stress due to Viscosity calculator uses Shear Stress = Viscosity*Change in Velocity to calculate the Shear Stress, Shear Stress due to Viscosity, also known as viscous shear stress, is the force per unit area that is exerted by a fluid due to its viscosity when it is subjected to a shearing or flow motion. Shear Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.

How to calculate Shear Stress due to Viscosity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Shear Stress due to Viscosity, enter Viscosity (μ) & Change in Velocity (d_v) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Shear Stress due to Viscosity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 93 = 2.2*20.

FAQ

What is Shear Stress due to Viscosity?

Shear Stress due to Viscosity, also known as viscous shear stress, is the force per unit area that is exerted by a fluid due to its viscosity when it is subjected to a shearing or flow motion and is represented as 𝜏 = μ*d_v or Shear Stress = Viscosity*Change in Velocity. Viscosity is a physical property of fluids that describes their resistance to flow or internal friction & Change in Velocity is the difference between the velocities of the adjacent fluid layers.

How to calculate Shear Stress due to Viscosity?
