From CPS615-Physical Simulation Techniques and Structure of CFD Equations Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 14 November 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 214.5
1 Viscosity is "resistance" to flow
  • Air has low viscosity
  • Treacle has high viscosity
2 Various Limits
  • High Viscosity (Low Reynolds number)
  • Low Viscosity (High Reynolds number)
  • and each has Sample Equations
