Abstract
In discussing Newton’s law of viscosity, we have described fluid motion as flowing parallel layers which, because of viscosity, establish a velocity gradient dependent upon the shear stress applied to the fluid. This velocity gradient has been regarded as a potential or a “reason” for momentum transport from layer to layer.
