    Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to fluid density. It is denoted by the Greek symbol nu. Mathematically, kinematic viscosity is defined as the dynamic viscosity divided by the density of the fluid. The SI unit of kinematic viscosity is m2/s. In CGS units, it is written as cm2/s, also known as a stoke. One stoke equals 10-4 m2/s. The dimension of kinematic viscosity is L2T-1, representing the ratio of length squared to time.

    VISCOSITY
    DEFINITION

    Viscosity is defined as the property of a fluid which offers resistance to


    the movement of one layer of fluid over another adjacent layer of the
    fluid. It has been divided into two parts given below.

    KINEMATIC VISCOSITY

    DEFINITION

    Kinematic Viscosity is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to the


    density of fluid. The method of recording the Kinematic
    Viscosity of a fluid is used widely in laboratories and is
    defined by ASTM D445. It is denoted by the Greek symbol
    (v) called ‘nu’.
    • Mathematically Kinematic viscosity has been defined as follows:-

    Units of KINEMATIC VISCOSITY
     In MKS and SI, the unit of kinematic viscosity is
    meter2/sec or m2/sec.
     And in CGS units it is written as cm2/s. In CGS units,
    kinematic viscosity is also known stoke.

    Thus, one stoke = cm2/s = ( ) m2/s = 10-4 m2/s

    = L2 T-1
    It can also be written as, [M0L2 T-1]
