Abstract

Viscosity is a transport phenomenon. Viscosity is the transport of momentum due to a velocity gradient. The beginning of the phenomenological studies of viscosity goes back to the ancient Greeks and later the Romans characteristically applied what they had learned in practical ingenious ways [1]. Modern theories of viscosity of liquids are based on continuum mechanics and molecular theory.
