Viscosity

Environment VirusVolatile

Viscosity: The syrupiness of water and it determines the mobility of the water. When the temperature rises, the viscosity degrades; this means that water will be more mobile at higher temperatures.

 


Viscosity: The molecular friction within a fluid that produces flow resistance.
Volatile: Any substance that evaporates readily.
Volatile Liquids: Liquids which easily vaporize or evaporate at room temperature.

viscosity Internal resistance to flow of a fluid that is a function of fluid temperature.
VOC Volatile organic chemical/compound(s).
volatile Readily vaporized at relatively low temperature.

Viscosity: resistance to flow in a liquid
Vivipary: continuous development from flower through germinated seedling while attached to parent plant

Viscosity: Friction or resistance to the flow of a liquid.
VOCs: See "Volatile Organic Compounds."
Volatile: 1. Able to evaporate readily. 2. Able to go to gas phase from a liquid or solid phase.

viscosity
the resistance offered by a fluid (liquid or gas) to flow. The viscosity is a characteristic property and is a measure of the combined effects of adhesion and cohesion.

Viscosity
A measure of the ease with which a liquid can be poured or stirred. The higher the viscosity, the less easily a liquid pours.

Viscosity: The degree to which a fluid resists flow under an applied force.

viscosity : A measure of the internal friction of a fluid that provides resistance to shear within the fluid. The greater the forces of internal friction (i.e. the greater the viscosity), the less easily the fluid will flow.

Viscosity the ability of a fluid to respond to movement. A high viscosity will resist movement, and a low viscosity will flow quickly. This is not necessarily the same as density.

if conditions require that the viscosity of the fluid be separated from the conductivity of the medium, ...

viscosity the friction within a fluid, and between that fluid and other substances which causes the liquid to resist flowing and creates friction and drag when something tries to move through the liquid.

A measure of the ability of an aquifer to transmit a fluid; it is expressed as the volume of water at the existing kinematic viscosity that will move in a unit time under a unit hydraulic gradient through a unit area measured at right angles to the ...

solvents, will sink if it enters groundwater; less dense, or light NAPL (LNAPL), such as gasoline, will float on the water table. NAPL in the subsurface can be a persistent source of groundwater contamination due to its low solubility and viscosity.
