The viscosity of a fluid is its resistance to shear or flow, and is a measure of the fluids adhesive/cohesive or frictional properties. This
arises because of the internal molecular friction within the fluid producing the frictional drag effect. There are two related measures of fluid
viscosity which are known as dynamic and kinematic viscosity.
Dynamic viscosity is also termed "absolute viscosity" and is the tangential force per unit area required to move one horizontal
plane with respect to the other at unit velocity when maintained a unit distance apart by the fluid.
