What is Viscous Sheer Stress?

Such forces are often referred to as viscous shear stresses, where shear stress is defined as force divided by the area of interaction between the fluid layers. Shear stresses in fluids are therefore induced by fluid flow and are a consequence of velocity differences within the fluid.

How to Calculate Viscous Stress?

Viscous Stress calculator uses Viscous Stress = Dynamic Viscosity*Velocity Gradient/Fluid Thickness to calculate the Viscous Stress, Viscous Stress formula is defined as a measure of the internal resistance of a fluid to flow, which arises from the fluid's viscosity.
