For a
Newtonian fluid, the shear
viscosity is often termed simply
viscosity since in most situations it is the only one considered. It relates the shear components
of stress and those of rate of
strain at a point in the fluid by:
where
, the shear component of rate of
strain is defined as follows:
Corresponding relations hold for
and
;
is the component of stress acting in the
-direction on a plate normal to the
-axis;
,
,
are the components of velocity.
