The viscosity of a fluid is an important property in the analysis of liquid behavior and fluid motion near solid boundaries.
The viscosity of a fluid is its resistance to shear or flow and is a measure of the adhesive/cohesive or frictional properties of a fluid. The resistance is caused by intermolecular friction exerted when layers of fluids attempts to slide by an other.
