Viscosity is a measure of afluid's rate-dependentresistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another.[1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept ofthickness; for example,syrup has a higher viscosity thanwater.[2] Viscosity is defined scientifically as a force multiplied by a time divided by an area. Thus itsSI units are newton-seconds per square meter, or pascal-seconds.[1]

Viscosity quantifies the internalfrictional force between adjacent layers of fluid that are in relative motion.[1] For instance, when a viscous fluid is forced through a tube, it flows more quickly near the tube's center line than near its walls.[3] Experiments show that somestress (such as apressure difference between the two ends of the tube) is needed to sustain the flow. This is because a force is required to overcome the friction between the layers of the fluid which are inrelative motion. For a tube with a constant rate of flow, the strength of the compensating force is proportional to the fluid's viscosity.

In general, viscosity depends on a fluid's state, such as its temperature, pressure, and rate of deformation. However, the dependence on some of these properties is negligible in certain cases. For example, the viscosity of aNewtonian fluid does not vary significantly with the rate of deformation.

Zero viscosity (no resistance toshear stress) is observed only atvery low temperatures insuperfluids; otherwise, thesecond law of thermodynamics requires all fluids to have positive viscosity.[4][5] A fluid that has zero viscosity (non-viscous) is calledideal orinviscid.

Fornon-Newtonian fluid's viscosity, there arepseudoplastic,plastic, anddilatant flows that are time-independent, and there arethixotropic andrheopectic flows that are time-dependent.

Etymology

[edit]

The word "viscosity" is derived from theLatinviscum ("mistletoe").Viscum also referred to a viscousglue derived from mistletoe berries.[6]

Definitions

[edit]

Dynamic viscosity

[edit]
Illustration of a planarCouette flow. Since the shearing flow is opposed by friction between adjacent layers of fluid (which are in relative motion), a force is required to sustain the motion of the upper plate. The relative strength of this force is a measure of the fluid's viscosity.
In a general parallel flow, the shear stress is proportional to the gradient of the velocity.

Inmaterials science andengineering, there is often interest in understanding the forces orstresses involved in thedeformation of a material. For instance, if the material were a simple spring, the answer would be given byHooke's law, which says that the force experienced by a spring is proportional to the distance displaced from equilibrium. Stresses which can be attributed to the deformation of a material from some rest state are calledelastic stresses. In other materials, stresses are present which can be attributed to thedeformation rate over time. These are called viscous stresses. For instance, in a fluid such as water the stresses which arise from shearing the fluid do not depend on thedistance the fluid has been sheared; rather, they depend on howquickly the shearing occurs.

Viscosity is the material property which relates the viscous stresses in a material to the rate of change of a deformation (the strain rate). Although it applies to general flows, it is easy to visualize and define in a simple shearing flow, such as a planarCouette flow.

In the Couette flow, a fluid is trapped between two infinitely large plates, one fixed and one in parallel motion at constant speedu{\displaystyle u} (see illustration to the right). If the speed of the top plate is low enough (to avoid turbulence), then in steady state the fluid particles move parallel to it, and their speed varies from0{\displaystyle 0} at the bottom tou{\displaystyle u} at the top.[7] Each layer of fluid moves faster than the one just below it, and friction between them gives rise to aforce resisting their relative motion. In particular, the fluid applies on the top plate a force in the direction opposite to its motion, and an equal but opposite force on the bottom plate. An external force is therefore required in order to keep the top plate moving at constant speed.

In many fluids, the flow velocity is observed to vary linearly from zero at the bottom tou{\displaystyle u} at the top. Moreover, the magnitude of the force,F{\displaystyle F}, acting on the top plate is found to be proportional to the speedu{\displaystyle u} and the areaA{\displaystyle A} of each plate, and inversely proportional to their separationy{\displaystyle y}:

F=μAuy.{\displaystyle F=\mu A{\frac {u}{y}}.}

The proportionality factor is thedynamic viscosity of the fluid, often simply referred to as theviscosity. It is denoted by theGreek letter mu (μ). The dynamic viscosity has thedimensions(mass/length)/time{\displaystyle \mathrm {(mass/length)/time} }, therefore resulting in theSI units and thederived units:

[μ]=kgm⋅s=Nm2⋅s=Pa⋅s={\displaystyle [\mu ]={\frac {\rm {kg}}{\rm {m{\cdot }s}}}={\frac {\rm {N}}{\rm {m^{2}}}}{\cdot }{\rm {s}}={\rm {Pa{\cdot }s}}=}pressure multiplied bytime={\displaystyle =} energy per unit volume multiplied by time.

The aforementioned ratiou/y{\displaystyle u/y} is called therate of shear deformation orshear velocity, and is thederivative of the fluid speed in the directionparallel to the normal vector of the plates (see illustrations to the right). If the velocity does not vary linearly withy{\displaystyle y}, then the appropriate generalization is:

τ=μ∂u∂y,{\displaystyle \tau =\mu {\frac {\partial u}{\partial y}},}

whereτ=F/A{\displaystyle \tau =F/A}, and∂u/∂y{\displaystyle \partial u/\partial y} is the local shear velocity. This expression is referred to asNewton's law of viscosity. In shearing flows with planar symmetry, it is whatdefinesμ{\displaystyle \mu }. It is a special case of the general definition of viscosity (see below), which can be expressed in coordinate-free form.

Use of theGreek letter mu (μ{\displaystyle \mu }) for the dynamic viscosity (sometimes also called theabsolute viscosity) is common amongmechanical andchemical engineers, as well as mathematicians and physicists.[8][9][10] However, theGreek letter eta (η{\displaystyle \eta }) is also used by chemists, physicists, and theIUPAC.[11] The viscosityμ{\displaystyle \mu } is sometimes also called theshear viscosity. However, at least one author discourages the use of this terminology, noting thatμ{\displaystyle \mu } can appear in non-shearing flows in addition to shearing flows.[12]

Kinematic viscosity

[edit]

In fluid dynamics, it is sometimes more appropriate to work in terms ofkinematic viscosity (sometimes also called themomentum diffusivity), defined as the ratio of the dynamic viscosity (μ) over thedensity of the fluid (ρ). It is usually denoted by theGreek letter nu (ν):

ν=μρ,{\displaystyle \nu ={\frac {\mu }{\rho }},}

and has thedimensions(length)2/time{\displaystyle \mathrm {(length)^{2}/time} }, therefore resulting in theSI units and thederived units:

[ν]=m2s=N⋅mkg⋅s=Jkg⋅s={\displaystyle [\nu ]=\mathrm {\frac {m^{2}}{s}} =\mathrm {{\frac {N{\cdot }m}{kg}}{\cdot }s} =\mathrm {{\frac {J}{kg}}{\cdot }s} =}specific energy multiplied bytime={\displaystyle =} energy per unit mass multiplied by time.

General definition

[edit]
See also:Viscous stress tensor andVolume viscosity

In very general terms, the viscous stresses in a fluid are defined as those resulting from the relative velocity of different fluid particles. As such, the viscous stresses must depend on spatial gradients of the flow velocity. If the velocity gradients are small, then to a first approximation the viscous stresses depend only on the first derivatives of the velocity.[13] (For Newtonian fluids, this is also a linear dependence.) In Cartesian coordinates, the general relationship can then be written as

τij=∑k∑ℓμijkℓ∂vk∂rℓ,{\displaystyle \tau _{ij}=\sum _{k}\sum _{\ell }\mu _{ijk\ell }{\frac {\partial v_{k}}{\partial r_{\ell }}},}

whereμijkℓ{\displaystyle \mu _{ijk\ell }} is a viscosity tensor that maps thevelocity gradient tensor∂vk/∂rℓ{\displaystyle \partial v_{k}/\partial r_{\ell }} onto the viscous stress tensorτij{\displaystyle \tau _{ij}}.[14] Since the indices in this expression can vary from 1 to 3, there are 81 "viscosity coefficients"μijkl{\displaystyle \mu _{ijkl}} in total. However, assuming that the viscosity rank-2 tensor isisotropic reduces these 81 coefficients to three independent parametersα{\displaystyle \alpha },β{\displaystyle \beta },γ{\displaystyle \gamma }:

μijkℓ=αδijδkℓ+βδikδjℓ+γδiℓδjk,{\displaystyle \mu _{ijk\ell }=\alpha \delta _{ij}\delta _{k\ell }+\beta \delta _{ik}\delta _{j\ell }+\gamma \delta _{i\ell }\delta _{jk},}

and furthermore, it is assumed that no viscous forces may arise when the fluid is undergoing simple rigid-body rotation, thusβ=γ{\displaystyle \beta =\gamma }, leaving only two independent parameters.[13] The most usual decomposition is in terms of the standard (scalar) viscosityμ{\displaystyle \mu } and thebulk viscosityκ{\displaystyle \kappa } such thatα=κ−23μ{\displaystyle \alpha =\kappa -{\tfrac {2}{3}}\mu } andβ=γ=μ{\displaystyle \beta =\gamma =\mu }. In vector notation this appears as:

τ=μ[∇v+(∇v)T]−(23μ−κ)(∇⋅v)δ,{\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\tau }}=\mu \left[\nabla \mathbf {v} +(\nabla \mathbf {v} )^{\mathrm {T} }\right]-\left({\frac {2}{3}}\mu -\kappa \right)(\nabla \cdot \mathbf {v} )\mathbf {\delta } ,}

whereδ{\displaystyle \mathbf {\delta } } is the unit tensor.[12][15] This equation can be thought of as a generalized form of Newton's law of viscosity.

The bulk viscosity (also called volume viscosity) expresses a type of internal friction that resists the shearless compression or expansion of a fluid. Knowledge ofκ{\displaystyle \kappa } is frequently not necessary in fluid dynamics problems. For example, an incompressible fluid satisfies∇⋅v=0{\displaystyle \nabla \cdot \mathbf {v} =0} and so the term containingκ{\displaystyle \kappa } drops out. Moreover,κ{\displaystyle \kappa } is often assumed to be negligible for gases since it is0{\displaystyle 0} in amonatomicideal gas.[12] One situation in whichκ{\displaystyle \kappa } can be important is the calculation of energy loss insound andshock waves, described byStokes' law of sound attenuation, since these phenomena involve rapid expansions and compressions.

The defining equations for viscosity are not fundamental laws of nature, so their usefulness, as well as methods for measuring or calculating the viscosity, must be established using separate means. A potential issue is that viscosity depends, in principle, on the full microscopic state of the fluid, which encompasses the positions and momenta of every particle in the system.[16] Such highly detailed information is typically not available in realistic systems. However, under certain conditions most of this information can be shown to be negligible. In particular, for Newtonian fluids near equilibrium and far from boundaries (bulk state), the viscosity depends only space- and time-dependent macroscopic fields (such as temperature and density) defining local equilibrium.[16][17]

Nevertheless, viscosity may still carry a non-negligible dependence on several system properties, such as temperature, pressure, and the amplitude and frequency of any external forcing. Therefore, precision measurements of viscosity are only definedwith respect to a specific fluid state.[18] To standardize comparisons among experiments and theoretical models, viscosity data is sometimes extrapolated to ideal limiting cases, such as thezero shear limit, or (for gases) thezero density limit.

Momentum transport

[edit]
See also:Transport phenomena

Transport theory provides an alternative interpretation of viscosity in terms of momentum transport: viscosity is the material property which characterizes momentum transport within a fluid, just asthermal conductivity characterizesheat transport, and (mass)diffusivity characterizes mass transport.[19] This perspective is implicit in Newton's law of viscosity,τ=μ(∂u/∂y){\displaystyle \tau =\mu (\partial u/\partial y)}, because the shear stressτ{\displaystyle \tau } has units equivalent to a momentumflux, i.e., momentum per unit time per unit area. Thus,τ{\displaystyle \tau } can be interpreted as specifying the flow of momentum in they{\displaystyle y} direction from one fluid layer to the next. Per Newton's law of viscosity, this momentum flow occurs across a velocity gradient, and the magnitude of the corresponding momentum flux is determined by the viscosity.

The analogy with heat and mass transfer can be made explicit. Just as heat flows from high temperature to low temperature and mass flows from high density to low density, momentum flows from high velocity to low velocity. These behaviors are all described by compact expressions, calledconstitutive relations, whose one-dimensional forms are given here:

J=−D∂ρ∂x(Fick's law of diffusion)q=−kt∂T∂x(Fourier's law of heat conduction)τ=μ∂u∂y(Newton's law of viscosity){\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\mathbf {J} &=-D{\frac {\partial \rho }{\partial x}}&&{\text{(Fick's law of diffusion)}}\\[5pt]\mathbf {q} &=-k_{t}{\frac {\partial T}{\partial x}}&&{\text{(Fourier's law of heat conduction)}}\\[5pt]\tau &=\mu {\frac {\partial u}{\partial y}}&&{\text{(Newton's law of viscosity)}}\end{aligned}}}

whereρ{\displaystyle \rho } is the density,J{\displaystyle \mathbf {J} } andq{\displaystyle \mathbf {q} } are the mass and heat fluxes, andD{\displaystyle D} andkt{\displaystyle k_{t}} are the mass diffusivity and thermal conductivity.[20] The fact that mass, momentum, and energy (heat) transport are among the most relevant processes in continuum mechanics is not a coincidence: these are among the few physical quantities that are conserved at the microscopic level in interparticle collisions. Thus, rather than being dictated by the fast and complex microscopic interaction timescale, their dynamics occurs on macroscopic timescales, as described by the various equations of transport theory and hydrodynamics.

Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids

[edit]
Viscosity, the slope of each line, varies among materials.

Newton's law of viscosity is not a fundamental law of nature, but rather aconstitutive equation (likeHooke's law,Fick's law, andOhm's law) which serves to define the viscosityμ{\displaystyle \mu }. Its form is motivated by experiments which show that for a wide range of fluids,μ{\displaystyle \mu } is independent of strain rate. Such fluids are calledNewtonian.Gases,water, and many common liquids can be considered Newtonian in ordinary conditions and contexts. However, there are manynon-Newtonian fluids that significantly deviate from this behavior. For example:

  • Shear-thickening (dilatant) liquids, whose viscosity increases with the rate of shear strain.
  • Shear-thinning liquids, whose viscosity decreases with the rate of shear strain.
  • Thixotropic liquids, that become less viscous over time when shaken, agitated, or otherwise stressed.
  • Rheopectic liquids, that become more viscous over time when shaken, agitated, or otherwise stressed.
  • Bingham plastics that behave as a solid at low stresses but flow as a viscous fluid at high stresses.

Trouton's ratio is the ratio ofextensional viscosity toshear viscosity. For a Newtonian fluid, the Trouton ratio is 3.[21][22] Shear-thinning liquids are very commonly, but misleadingly, described as thixotropic.[23]

Viscosity may also depend on the fluid's physical state (temperature and pressure) and other,external, factors. For gases and othercompressible fluids, it depends on temperature and varies very slowly with pressure. The viscosity of some fluids may depend on other factors. Amagnetorheological fluid, for example, becomes thicker when subjected to amagnetic field, possibly to the point of behaving like a solid.

In solids

[edit]

The viscous forces that arise during fluid flow are distinct from theelastic forces that occur in a solid in response to shear, compression, or extension stresses. While in the latter the stress is proportional to theamount of shear deformation, in a fluid it is proportional to therate of deformation over time. For this reason,James Clerk Maxwell used the termfugitive elasticity for fluid viscosity.

However, many liquids (including water) will briefly react like elastic solids when subjected to sudden stress. Conversely, many "solids" (evengranite) will flow like liquids, albeit very slowly, even under arbitrarily small stress.[24] Such materials are best described asviscoelastic—that is, possessing both elasticity (reaction to deformation) and viscosity (reaction to rate of deformation).

Viscoelastic solids may exhibit both shear viscosity and bulk viscosity. Theextensional viscosity is alinear combination of the shear and bulk viscosities that describes the reaction of a solid elastic material to elongation. It is widely used for characterizing polymers.

Ingeology, earth materials that exhibit viscous deformation at least threeorders of magnitude greater than their elastic deformation are sometimes calledrheids.[25]

Measurement

[edit]
Main article:Viscometer

Viscosity is measured with various types ofviscometers andrheometers. Close temperature control of the fluid is essential to obtain accurate measurements, particularly in materials like lubricants, whose viscosity can double with a change of only 5 °C. A rheometer is used for fluids that cannot be defined by a single value of viscosity and therefore require more parameters to be set and measured than is the case for a viscometer.[26]

For some fluids, the viscosity is constant over a wide range of shear rates (Newtonian fluids). The fluids without a constant viscosity (non-Newtonian fluids) cannot be described by a single number. Non-Newtonian fluids exhibit a variety of different correlations between shear stress and shear rate.

One of the most common instruments for measuring kinematic viscosity is the glass capillary viscometer.

Incoating industries, viscosity may be measured with a cup in which theefflux time is measured. There are several sorts of cup—such as theZahn cup and theFord viscosity cup—with the usage of each type varying mainly according to the industry.

Also used in coatings, aStormer viscometer employs load-based rotation to determine viscosity. The viscosity is reported in Krebs units (KU), which are unique to Stormer viscometers.

Vibrating viscometers can also be used to measure viscosity. Resonant, or vibrational viscometers work by creating shear waves within the liquid. In this method, the sensor is submerged in the fluid and is made to resonate at a specific frequency. As the surface of the sensor shears through the liquid, energy is lost due to its viscosity. This dissipated energy is then measured and converted into a viscosity reading. A higher viscosity causes a greater loss of energy.[citation needed]

Extensional viscosity can be measured with variousrheometers that applyextensional stress.

Volume viscosity can be measured with anacoustic rheometer.

Apparent viscosity is a calculation derived from tests performed ondrilling fluid used in oil or gas well development. These calculations and tests help engineers develop and maintain the properties of the drilling fluid to the specifications required.

Nanoviscosity (viscosity sensed by nanoprobes) can be measured byfluorescence correlation spectroscopy.[27]

Units

[edit]

TheSI unit of dynamic viscosity is thenewton-second per square meter (N·s/m2), also frequently expressed in the equivalent formspascal-second (Pa·s),kilogram per meter per second (kg·m−1·s−1) andpoiseuille (Pl). TheCGS unit is thepoise (P, or g·cm−1·s−1 = 0.1 Pa·s),[28] named afterJean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It is commonly expressed, particularly inASTM standards, ascentipoise (cP). The centipoise is convenient because the viscosity of water at 20 °C is about 1 cP, and one centipoise is equal to the SI millipascal second (mPa·s).

The SI unit of kinematic viscosity is square meter per second (m2/s), whereas the CGS unit for kinematic viscosity is thestokes (St, or cm2·s−1 = 0.0001 m2·s−1), named after SirGeorge Gabriel Stokes.[29] In U.S. usage,stoke is sometimes used as the singular form. Thesubmultiplecentistokes (cSt) is often used instead, 1 cSt = 1 mm2·s−1 = 10−6 m2·s−1. 1 cSt is 1 cP divided by 1000 kg/m^3, close to the density of water. The kinematic viscosity of water at 20 °C is about 1 cSt.

The most frequently used systems ofUS customary, or Imperial, units are theBritish Gravitational (BG) andEnglish Engineering (EE). In the BG system, dynamic viscosity has units ofpound-seconds per squarefoot (lb·s/ft2), and in the EE system it has units ofpound-force-seconds per square foot (lbf·s/ft2). The pound and pound-force are equivalent; the two systems differ only in how force and mass are defined. In the BG system the pound is a basic unit from which the unit of mass (theslug) is defined byNewton's Second Law, whereas in the EE system the units of force and mass (the pound-force andpound-mass respectively) are defined independently through the Second Law using theproportionality constantgc.

Kinematic viscosity has units of square feet per second (ft2/s) in both the BG and EE systems.

Nonstandard units include thereyn (lbf·s/in2), a British unit of dynamic viscosity.[30] In the automotive industry theviscosity index is used to describe the change of viscosity with temperature.

Thereciprocal of viscosity isfluidity, usually symbolized byϕ=1/μ{\displaystyle \phi =1/\mu } orF=1/μ{\displaystyle F=1/\mu }, depending on the convention used, measured inreciprocal poise (P−1, orcm·s·g−1), sometimes called therhe. Fluidity is seldom used inengineering practice.[citation needed]

At one time the petroleum industry relied on measuring kinematic viscosity by means of theSaybolt viscometer, and expressing kinematic viscosity in units ofSaybolt universal seconds (SUS).[31] Other abbreviations such as SSU (Saybolt seconds universal) or SUV (Saybolt universal viscosity) are sometimes used. Kinematic viscosity in centistokes can be converted from SUS according to the arithmetic and the reference table provided inASTM D 2161.

Molecular origins

[edit]

Momentum transport in gases is mediated by discrete molecular collisions, and in liquids by attractive forces that bind molecules close together.[19] Because of this, the dynamic viscosities of liquids are typically much larger than those of gases. In addition, viscosity tends to increase with temperature in gases and decrease with temperature in liquids.

Above the liquid-gascritical point, the liquid and gas phases are replaced by a singlesupercritical phase. In this regime, the mechanisms of momentum transport interpolate between liquid-like and gas-like behavior.For example, along a supercriticalisobar (constant-pressure surface), the kinematic viscosity decreases at low temperature and increases at high temperature, with a minimum in between.[32][33] A rough estimate for the valueat the minimum is

νmin=14πℏmem{\displaystyle \nu _{\text{min}}={\frac {1}{4\pi }}{\frac {\hbar }{\sqrt {m_{\text{e}}m}}}}

whereℏ{\displaystyle \hbar } is thePlanck constant,me{\displaystyle m_{\text{e}}} is theelectron mass, andm{\displaystyle m} is the molecular mass.[33]

In general, however, the viscosity of a system depends in detail on how the molecules constituting the system interact, and there are no simple but correct formulas for it. The simplest exact expressions are theGreen–Kubo relations for the linear shear viscosity or thetransient time correlation function expressions derived by Evans and Morriss in 1988.[34] Although these expressions are each exact, calculating the viscosity of a dense fluid using these relations currently requires the use ofmolecular dynamics computer simulations. Somewhat more progress can be made for a dilute gas, as elementary assumptions about how gas molecules move and interact lead to a basic understanding of the molecular origins of viscosity. More sophisticated treatments can be constructed by systematically coarse-graining theequations of motion of the gas molecules. An example of such a treatment isChapman–Enskog theory, which derives expressions for the viscosity of a dilute gas from theBoltzmann equation.[17]

Pure gases

[edit]

Elementary calculation of viscosity for a dilute gas

Consider a dilute gas moving parallel to thex{\displaystyle x}-axis with velocityu(y){\displaystyle u(y)} that depends only on they{\displaystyle y} coordinate. To simplify the discussion, the gas is assumed to have uniform temperature and density.

Under these assumptions, thex{\displaystyle x} velocity of a molecule passing throughy=0{\displaystyle y=0} is equal to whatever velocity that molecule had when its mean free pathλ{\displaystyle \lambda } began. Becauseλ{\displaystyle \lambda } is typically small compared with macroscopic scales, the averagex{\displaystyle x} velocity of such a molecule has the form

u(0)±αλdudy(0),{\displaystyle u(0)\pm \alpha \lambda {\frac {du}{dy}}(0),}

whereα{\displaystyle \alpha } is a numerical constant on the order of1{\displaystyle 1}. (Some authors estimateα=2/3{\displaystyle \alpha =2/3};[19][35] on the other hand, a more careful calculation for rigid elastic spheres givesα≃0.998{\displaystyle \alpha \simeq 0.998}.) Next, because half the molecules on either side are moving towardsy=0{\displaystyle y=0}, and doing so on average with half theaverage molecular speed(8kBT/πm)1/2{\displaystyle (8k_{\text{B}}T/\pi m)^{1/2}}, the momentum flux from either side is

14ρ⋅8kBTπm⋅(u(0)±αλdudy(0)).{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{4}}\rho \cdot {\sqrt {\frac {8k_{\text{B}}T}{\pi m}}}\cdot \left(u(0)\pm \alpha \lambda {\frac {du}{dy}}(0)\right).}

The net momentum flux aty=0{\displaystyle y=0} is the difference of the two:

−12ρ⋅8kBTπm⋅αλdudy(0).{\displaystyle -{\frac {1}{2}}\rho \cdot {\sqrt {\frac {8k_{\text{B}}T}{\pi m}}}\cdot \alpha \lambda {\frac {du}{dy}}(0).}

According to the definition of viscosity, this momentum flux should be equal to−μdudy(0){\displaystyle -\mu {\frac {du}{dy}}(0)}, which leads to

μ=αρλ2kBTπm.{\displaystyle \mu =\alpha \rho \lambda {\sqrt {\frac {2k_{\text{B}}T}{\pi m}}}.}

Viscosity in gases arises principally from themolecular diffusion that transports momentum between layers of flow. An elementary calculation for a dilute gas at temperatureT{\displaystyle T} and densityρ{\displaystyle \rho } gives

μ=αρλ2kBTπm,{\displaystyle \mu =\alpha \rho \lambda {\sqrt {\frac {2k_{\text{B}}T}{\pi m}}},}

wherekB{\displaystyle k_{\text{B}}} is theBoltzmann constant,m{\displaystyle m} the molecular mass, andα{\displaystyle \alpha } a numerical constant on the order of1{\displaystyle 1}. The quantityλ{\displaystyle \lambda }, themean free path, measures the average distance a molecule travels between collisions. Even withouta priori knowledge ofα{\displaystyle \alpha }, this expression has nontrivial implications. In particular, sinceλ{\displaystyle \lambda } is typically inversely proportional to density and increases with temperature,μ{\displaystyle \mu } itself should increase with temperature and be independent of density at fixed temperature. In fact, both of these predictions persist in more sophisticated treatments, and accurately describe experimental observations. By contrast, liquid viscosity typically decreases with temperature.[19][35]

For rigid elastic spheres of diameterσ{\displaystyle \sigma },λ{\displaystyle \lambda } can be computed, giving

μ=απ3/2kBmTσ2.{\displaystyle \mu ={\frac {\alpha }{\pi ^{3/2}}}{\frac {\sqrt {k_{\text{B}}mT}}{\sigma ^{2}}}.}

In this caseλ{\displaystyle \lambda } is independent of temperature, soμ∝T1/2{\displaystyle \mu \propto T^{1/2}}. For more complicated molecular models, however,λ{\displaystyle \lambda } depends on temperature in a non-trivial way, and simple kinetic arguments as used here are inadequate. More fundamentally, the notion of a mean free path becomes imprecise for particles that interact over a finite range, which limits the usefulness of the concept for describing real-world gases.[36]

Chapman–Enskog theory

[edit]
Main article:Chapman–Enskog theory

A technique developed bySydney Chapman andDavid Enskog in the early 1900s allows a more refined calculation ofμ{\displaystyle \mu }.[17] It is based on theBoltzmann equation, which provides a statistical description of a dilute gas in terms of intermolecular interactions.[37] The technique allows accurate calculation ofμ{\displaystyle \mu } for molecular models that are more realistic than rigid elastic spheres, such as those incorporating intermolecular attractions. Doing so is necessary to reproduce the correct temperature dependence ofμ{\displaystyle \mu }, which experiments show increases more rapidly than theT1/2{\displaystyle T^{1/2}} trend predicted for rigid elastic spheres.[19] Indeed, the Chapman–Enskog analysis shows that the predicted temperature dependence can be tuned by varying the parameters in various molecular models. A simple example is the Sutherland model,[a] which describes rigid elastic spheres withweak mutual attraction. In such a case, the attractive force can be treatedperturbatively, which leads to a simple expression forμ{\displaystyle \mu }:

μ=516σ2(kBmTπ)1/2 (1+ST)−1,{\displaystyle \mu ={\frac {5}{16\sigma ^{2}}}\left({\frac {k_{\text{B}}mT}{\pi }}\right)^{\!\!1/2}\ \left(1+{\frac {S}{T}}\right)^{\!\!-1},}

whereS{\displaystyle S} is independent of temperature, being determined only by the parameters of the intermolecular attraction. To connect with experiment, it is convenient to rewrite as

μ=μ0(TT0)3/2 T0+ST+S,{\displaystyle \mu =\mu _{0}\left({\frac {T}{T_{0}}}\right)^{\!\!3/2}\ {\frac {T_{0}+S}{T+S}},}

whereμ0{\displaystyle \mu _{0}} is the viscosity at temperatureT0{\displaystyle T_{0}}. This expression is usually named Sutherland's formula.[38] Ifμ{\displaystyle \mu } is known from experiments atT=T0{\displaystyle T=T_{0}} and at least one other temperature, thenS{\displaystyle S} can be calculated. Expressions forμ{\displaystyle \mu } obtained in this way are qualitatively accurate for a number of simple gases. Slightly more sophisticated models, such as theLennard-Jones potential, or the more flexibleMie potential, may provide better agreement with experiments, but only at the cost of a more opaque dependence on temperature. A further advantage of these more complex interaction potentials is that they can be used to develop accurate models for a wide variety of properties using the same potential parameters. In situations where little experimental data is available, this makes it possible to obtain model parameters from fitting to properties such as pure-fluidvapour-liquid equilibria, before using the parameters thus obtained to predict the viscosities of interest with reasonable accuracy.

In some systems, the assumption ofspherical symmetry must be abandoned, as is the case for vapors with highlypolar molecules likeH2O. In these cases, the Chapman–Enskog analysis is significantly more complicated.[39][40]

Bulk viscosity

[edit]
See also:Bulk viscosity

In the kinetic-molecular picture, a non-zero bulk viscosity arises in gases whenever there are non-negligible relaxational timescales governing the exchange of energy between the translational energy of molecules and their internal energy, e.g.rotational andvibrational. As such, the bulk viscosity is0{\displaystyle 0} for a monatomic ideal gas, in which the internal energy of molecules is negligible, but is nonzero for a gas likecarbon dioxide, whose molecules possess both rotational and vibrational energy.[41][42]

Pure liquids

[edit]
See also:Temperature dependence of viscosity § Liquids
Video showing three liquids with different viscosities
Experiment showing the behavior of a viscous fluid with blue dye for visibility

In contrast with gases, there is no simple yet accurate picture for the molecular origins of viscosity in liquids.

At the simplest level of description, the relative motion of adjacent layers in a liquid is opposed primarily by attractive molecular forcesacting across the layer boundary. In this picture, one (correctly) expects viscosity to decrease with increasing temperature. This is becauseincreasing temperature increases the random thermal motion of the molecules, which makes it easier for them to overcome their attractive interactions.[43]

Building on this visualization, a simple theory can be constructed in analogy with the discrete structure of a solid: groups of molecules in a liquid are visualized as forming "cages" which surround and enclose single molecules.[44] These cages can be occupied or unoccupied, andstronger molecular attraction corresponds to stronger cages.Due to random thermal motion, a molecule "hops" between cages at a rate which varies inversely with the strength of molecular attractions. Inequilibrium these "hops" are not biased in any direction.On the other hand, in order for two adjacent layers to move relative to each other, the "hops" must be biased in the directionof the relative motion. The force required to sustain this directed motion can be estimated for a given shear rate, leading to

μ≈NAhVexp⁡(3.8TbT),{\displaystyle \mu \approx {\frac {N_{\text{A}}h}{V}}\operatorname {exp} \left(3.8{\frac {T_{\text{b}}}{T}}\right),}1

whereNA{\displaystyle N_{\text{A}}} is theAvogadro constant,h{\displaystyle h} is thePlanck constant,V{\displaystyle V} is the volume of amole of liquid, andTb{\displaystyle T_{\text{b}}} is thenormal boiling point. This result has the same form as the well-known empirical relation

μ=AeB/T,{\displaystyle \mu =Ae^{B/T},}2

whereA{\displaystyle A} andB{\displaystyle B} are constants fit from data.[44][45] On the other hand, several authors express caution with respect to this model.Errors as large as 30% can be encountered using equation (1), compared with fitting equation (2) to experimental data.[44] More fundamentally, the physical assumptions underlying equation (1) have been criticized.[46] It has also been argued that the exponential dependence in equation (1) does not necessarily describe experimental observations more accurately than simpler, non-exponential expressions.[47][48]

In light of these shortcomings, the development of a less ad hoc model is a matter of practical interest. Foregoing simplicity in favor of precision, it is possible to write rigorous expressions for viscosity starting from the fundamental equations of motion for molecules. A classic example of this approach is Irving–Kirkwood theory.[49] On the other hand, such expressions are given as averages over multiparticlecorrelation functions and are therefore difficult to apply in practice.

In general, empirically derived expressions (based on existing viscosity measurements) appear to be the only consistently reliable means of calculating viscosity in liquids.[50]

Local atomic structure changes observed in undercooled liquids on cooling below the equilibrium melting temperature either in terms of radial distribution functiong(r)[51] or structure factorS(Q)[52] are found to be directly responsible for the liquid fragility: deviation of the temperature dependence of viscosity of the undercooled liquid from the Arrhenius equation (2) through modification of the activation energy for viscous flow. At the same time equilibrium liquids follow the Arrhenius equation.

Mixtures and blends

[edit]
See also:Viscosity models for mixtures

Gaseous mixtures

[edit]

The same molecular-kinetic picture of a single component gas can also be applied to a gaseous mixture. For instance, in theChapman–Enskog approach the viscosityμmix{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{mix}}} of a binary mixture of gases can be written in terms of the individual component viscositiesμ1,2{\displaystyle \mu _{1,2}}, their respective volume fractions, and the intermolecular interactions.[17]

As for the single-component gas, the dependence ofμmix{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{mix}}} on the parameters of the intermolecular interactions enters through various collisional integrals which may not be expressible inclosed form. To obtain usable expressions forμmix{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{mix}}} which reasonably match experimental data, the collisional integrals may be computed numerically or from correlations.[53] In some cases, the collision integrals are regarded as fitting parameters, and are fitted directly to experimental data.[54] This is a common approach in the development ofreference equations for gas-phase viscosities. An example of such a procedure is the Sutherland approach for the single-component gas, discussed above.

For gas mixtures consisting of simple molecules,Revised Enskog Theory has been shown to accurately represent both the density- and temperature dependence of the viscosity over a wide range of conditions.[55][53]

Blends of liquids

[edit]

As for pure liquids, the viscosity of a blend of liquids is difficult to predict from molecular principles. One method is to extend the molecular "cage" theory presented above for a pure liquid. This can be done with varying levels of sophistication. One expression resulting from such an analysis is the Lederer–Roegiers equation for a binary mixture:

ln⁡μblend=x1x1+αx2ln⁡μ1+αx2x1+αx2ln⁡μ2,{\displaystyle \ln \mu _{\text{blend}}={\frac {x_{1}}{x_{1}+\alpha x_{2}}}\ln \mu _{1}+{\frac {\alpha x_{2}}{x_{1}+\alpha x_{2}}}\ln \mu _{2},}

whereα{\displaystyle \alpha } is an empirical parameter, andx1,2{\displaystyle x_{1,2}} andμ1,2{\displaystyle \mu _{1,2}} are the respectivemole fractions and viscosities of the component liquids.[56]

Since blending is an important process in the lubricating and oil industries, a variety of empirical and proprietary equations exist for predicting the viscosity of a blend.[56]

Solutions and suspensions

[edit]

Aqueous solutions

[edit]
See also:Debye–Hückel theory andList of viscosities § Aqueous solutions

Depending on thesolute and range of concentration, an aqueouselectrolyte solution can have either a larger or smaller viscosity compared with pure water at the same temperature and pressure. For instance, a 20% saline (sodium chloride) solution has viscosity over 1.5 times that of pure water, whereas a 20%potassium iodide solution has viscosity about 0.91 times that of pure water.

An idealized model of dilute electrolytic solutions leads to the following prediction for the viscosityμs{\displaystyle \mu _{s}} of a solution:[57]

μsμ0=1+Ac,{\displaystyle {\frac {\mu _{s}}{\mu _{0}}}=1+A{\sqrt {c}},}

whereμ0{\displaystyle \mu _{0}} is the viscosity of the solvent,c{\displaystyle c} is the concentration, andA{\displaystyle A} is a positive constant which depends on both solvent and solute properties. However, this expression is only valid for very dilute solutions, havingc{\displaystyle c} less than 0.1 mol/L.[58] For higher concentrations, additional terms are necessary which account for higher-order molecular correlations:

μsμ0=1+Ac+Bc+Cc2,{\displaystyle {\frac {\mu _{s}}{\mu _{0}}}=1+A{\sqrt {c}}+Bc+Cc^{2},}

whereB{\displaystyle B} andC{\displaystyle C} are fit from data. In particular, a negative value ofB{\displaystyle B} is able to account for the decrease in viscosity observed in some solutions. Estimated values of these constants are shown below for sodium chloride and potassium iodide at temperature 25 °C (mol =mole, L =liter).[57]

SoluteA{\displaystyle A} (mol−1/2 L1/2)B{\displaystyle B} (mol−1 L)C{\displaystyle C} (mol−2 L2)
Sodium chloride (NaCl)0.00620.07930.0080
Potassium iodide (KI)0.0047−0.07550.0000

Suspensions

[edit]

In a suspension of solid particles (e.g.micron-size spheres suspended in oil), an effective viscosityμeff{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}} can be defined in terms of stress and strain components which are averaged over a volume large compared with the distance between the suspended particles, but small with respect to macroscopic dimensions.[59] Such suspensions generally exhibit non-Newtonian behavior. However, for dilute systems in steady flows, the behavior is Newtonian and expressions forμeff{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}} can be derived directly from the particle dynamics. In a very dilute system, with volume fractionϕ≲0.02{\displaystyle \phi \lesssim 0.02}, interactions between the suspended particles can be ignored. In such a case one can explicitly calculate the flow field around each particle independently, and combine the results to obtainμeff{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}}. For spheres, this results in the Einstein's effective viscosity formula:

μeff=μ0(1+52ϕ),{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}=\mu _{0}\left(1+{\frac {5}{2}}\phi \right),}

whereμ0{\displaystyle \mu _{0}} is the viscosity of the suspending liquid. The linear dependence onϕ{\displaystyle \phi } is a consequence of neglecting interparticle interactions. For dilute systems in general, one expectsμeff{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}} to take the form

μeff=μ0(1+Bϕ),{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}=\mu _{0}\left(1+B\phi \right),}

where the coefficientB{\displaystyle B} may depend on the particle shape (e.g. spheres, rods, disks).[60] Experimental determination of the precise value ofB{\displaystyle B} is difficult, however: even the predictionB=5/2{\displaystyle B=5/2} for spheres has not been conclusively validated, with various experiments finding values in the range1.5≲B≲5{\displaystyle 1.5\lesssim B\lesssim 5}. This deficiency has been attributed to difficulty in controlling experimental conditions.[61]

In denser suspensions,μeff{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}} acquires a nonlinear dependence onϕ{\displaystyle \phi }, which indicates the importance of interparticle interactions. Various analytical and semi-empirical schemes exist for capturing this regime. At the most basic level, a term quadratic inϕ{\displaystyle \phi } is added toμeff{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}}:

μeff=μ0(1+Bϕ+B1ϕ2),{\displaystyle \mu _{\text{eff}}=\mu _{0}\left(1+B\phi +B_{1}\phi ^{2}\right),}

and the coefficientB1{\displaystyle B_{1}} is fit from experimental data or approximated from the microscopic theory. However, some authors advise caution in applying such simple formulas since non-Newtonian behavior appears in dense suspensions (ϕ≳0.25{\displaystyle \phi \gtrsim 0.25} for spheres),[61] or in suspensions of elongated or flexible particles.[59]

There is a distinction between a suspension of solid particles, described above, and anemulsion. The latter is a suspension of tiny droplets, which themselves may exhibit internal circulation. The presence of internal circulation can decrease the observed effective viscosity, and different theoretical or semi-empirical models must be used.[62]

Amorphous materials

[edit]
Commonglass viscosity curves[63]

In the high and low temperature limits, viscous flow inamorphous materials (e.g. inglasses and melts)[64][65][66] has theArrhenius form:

μ=AeQ/(RT),{\displaystyle \mu =Ae^{Q/(RT)},}

whereQ is a relevantactivation energy, given in terms of molecular parameters;T is temperature;R is the molargas constant; andA is approximately a constant. The activation energyQ takes a different value depending on whether the high or low temperature limit is being considered: it changes from a high valueQH at low temperatures (in the glassy state) to a low valueQL at high temperatures (in the liquid state).

Common logarithm of viscosity against temperature forB2O3, showing two regimes

For intermediate temperatures,Q{\displaystyle Q} varies nontrivially with temperature and the simple Arrhenius form fails. On the other hand, the two-exponential equation

μ=ATexp⁡(BRT)[1+Cexp⁡(DRT)],{\displaystyle \mu =AT\exp \left({\frac {B}{RT}}\right)\left[1+C\exp \left({\frac {D}{RT}}\right)\right],}

whereA{\displaystyle A},B{\displaystyle B},C{\displaystyle C},D{\displaystyle D} are all constants, provides a good fit to experimental data over the entire range of temperatures, while at the same time reducing to the correct Arrhenius form in the low and high temperature limits. This expression, also known as Duouglas-Doremus-Ojovan model,[67] can be motivated from various theoretical models of amorphous materials at the atomic level.[65]

A two-exponential equation for the viscosity can be derived within the Dyre shoving model of supercooled liquids, where the Arrhenius energy barrier is identified with the high-frequencyshear modulus times a characteristic shoving volume.[68][69] Upon specifying the temperature dependence of the shear modulus via thermal expansion and via the repulsive part of the intermolecular potential, another two-exponential equation is retrieved:[70]

μ=exp⁡{VcCGkBTexp⁡[(2+λ)αTTg(1−TTg)]}{\displaystyle \mu =\exp {\left\{{\frac {V_{c}C_{G}}{k_{B}T}}\exp {\left[(2+\lambda )\alpha _{T}T_{g}\left(1-{\frac {T}{T_{g}}}\right)\right]}\right\}}}

whereCG{\displaystyle C_{G}} denotes the high-frequencyshear modulus of the material evaluated at a temperature equal to theglass transition temperatureTg{\displaystyle T_{g}},Vc{\displaystyle V_{c}} is the so-called shoving volume, i.e. it is the characteristic volume of the group of atoms involved in the shoving event by which an atom/molecule escapes from the cage of nearest-neighbours, typically on the order of the volume occupied by few atoms. Furthermore,αT{\displaystyle \alpha _{T}} is thethermal expansion coefficient of the material,λ{\displaystyle \lambda } is a parameter which measures the steepness of the power-law rise of the ascending flank of the first peak of theradial distribution function, and is quantitatively related to the repulsive part of theinteratomic potential.[70] Finally,kB{\displaystyle k_{B}} denotes theBoltzmann constant.

Eddy viscosity

[edit]

In the study ofturbulence influids, a common practical strategy is to ignore the small-scalevortices (oreddies) in the motion and to calculate a large-scale motion with aneffective viscosity, called the "eddy viscosity", which characterizes the transport and dissipation ofenergy in the smaller-scale flow (seelarge eddy simulation).[71][72] In contrast to the viscosity of the fluid itself, which must be positive by thesecond law of thermodynamics, the eddy viscosity can be negative.[73][74]

Prediction

[edit]

Because viscosity depends continuously on temperature and pressure, it cannot be fully characterized by a finite number of experimental measurements. Predictive formulas become necessary if experimental values are not available at the temperatures and pressures of interest. This capability is important for thermophysical simulations, in which the temperature and pressure of a fluid can vary continuously with space and time. A similar situation is encountered for mixtures of pure fluids, where the viscosity depends continuously on the concentration ratios of the constituent fluids

For the simplest fluids, such as dilute monatomic gases and their mixtures,ab initioquantum mechanical computations can accurately predict viscosity in terms of fundamental atomic constants, i.e., without reference to existing viscosity measurements.[75] For the special case of dilute helium,uncertainties in theab initio calculated viscosity are two order of magnitudes smaller than uncertainties in experimental values.[76]

For slightly more complex fluids and mixtures at moderate densities (i.e.sub-critical densities)Revised Enskog Theory can be used to predict viscosities with some accuracy.[53] Revised Enskog Theory is predictive in the sense that predictions for viscosity can be obtained using parameters fitted to other, pure-fluidthermodynamic properties ortransport properties, thus requiring noa priori experimental viscosity measurements.

For most fluids, high-accuracy, first-principles computations are not feasible. Rather, theoretical or empirical expressions must be fit to existing viscosity measurements. If such an expression is fit to high-fidelity data over a large range of temperatures and pressures, then it is called a "reference correlation" for that fluid. Reference correlations have been published for many pure fluids; a few examples arewater,carbon dioxide,ammonia,benzene, andxenon.[77][78][79][80][81] Many of these cover temperature and pressure ranges that encompass gas, liquid, andsupercritical phases.

Thermophysical modeling software often relies on reference correlations for predicting viscosity at user-specified temperature and pressure.These correlations may beproprietary. Examples areREFPROP[82] (proprietary) andCoolProp[83](open-source).

Viscosity can also be computed using formulas that express it in terms of the statistics of individual particletrajectories. These formulas include theGreen–Kubo relations for the linear shear viscosity and thetransient time correlation function expressions derived by Evans and Morriss in 1988.[84][34] The advantage of these expressions is that they are formally exact and valid for general systems. The disadvantage is that they require detailed knowledge of particle trajectories, available only in computationally expensive simulations such asmolecular dynamics. An accurate model for interparticle interactions is also required, which may be difficult to obtain for complex molecules.[85]

Selected substances

[edit]
In the University of Queenslandpitch drop experiment, pitch has been dripping slowly through a funnel since 1927, at a rate of one drop roughly every decade. In this way the viscosity of pitch has been determined to be approximately 230 billion (2.3×1011) times that of water.[86]
Main article:List of viscosities

Observed values of viscosity vary over several orders of magnitude, even for common substances (see the order of magnitude table below). For instance, a 70% sucrose (sugar) solution has a viscosity over 400 times that of water, and 26,000 times that of air.[87] More dramatically,pitch has been estimated to have a viscosity 230 billion times that of water.[86]

Water

[edit]

Thedynamic viscosityμ{\displaystyle \mu } ofwater is about 0.89 mPa·s at room temperature (25 °C). As a function of temperature inkelvins, the viscosity can be estimated using the semi-empiricalVogel-Fulcher-Tammann equation:

μ=Aexp⁡(BT−C){\displaystyle \mu =A\exp \left({\frac {B}{T-C}}\right)}

whereA = 0.02939 mPa·s,B = 507.88 K, andC = 149.3 K.[88] Experimentally determined values of the viscosity are also given in the table below. The values at 20 °C are a useful reference: there, the dynamic viscosity is about 1 cP and the kinematic viscosity is about 1 cSt.

Air

[edit]

Under standard atmospheric conditions (25 °C and pressure of 1 bar), the dynamic viscosity of air is 18.5 μPa·s, roughly 50 times smaller than the viscosity of water at the same temperature. Except at very high pressure, the viscosity of air depends mostly on the temperature. Among the many possible approximate formulas for the temperature dependence (seeTemperature dependence of viscosity), one is:[89]

ηair=2.791×10−7×T0.7355{\displaystyle \eta _{\text{air}}=2.791\times 10^{-7}\times T^{0.7355}}

which is accurate in the range −20 °C to 400 °C. For this formula to be valid, the temperature must be given inkelvins;ηair{\displaystyle \eta _{\text{air}}} then corresponds to the viscosity in Pa·s.
