Water - Absolute or Dynamic Viscosity

Sponsored Links

Absolute, or dynamic viscosity is used for calculating Reynolds Number to determine if a fluid flow is laminar, transient or turbulent.

• Reynold's Number A definition of Reynold's Number

The absolute, or dynamic viscosity of water depends on the temperature as shown in the table below:
