Viscosity is all about texture, or mouthfeel in wine, high viscosity adds weight to the experience.
The same physics apply to vehicles immersed in air and water, allowing for different values of mass and viscosity.
Next, the researchers compared the viscosity of tree-frog mucus with that of water.
The majority new oil being developed are heavy, sour crude oils which have a high sulfur content, high viscosity, and high density.
Light crudes have low wax content, with lower density and API viscosity.

But heart attacks can strike even those without traditional risk factors such as high cholesterol levels, suggesting that high viscosity is a possible cause.
Lilly wants to measure the viscosity of postmenopausal women, to see which face the risk of heart disease should they go on estrogen therapy.
Heavy crudes (high wax content, high API viscosity, high density) cannot be refined efficiently by refineries geared to refine light crudes and vice versa.
Both also result in materials that have, in some sense, no resistance in the case of a superfluid, this means zero viscosity and frictionless flow.
He is enthusiastic about the promise of Kensey's device but cautions that no one yet knows how close the link is between viscosity and heart disease.
The extent of the delay indicated the viscosity of the fluid, and toe-pad mucus was found to be little more than one-and-a-half times as viscous as water.
Like the Corvette ZR1 and the CTS-V Coupe, the wagon is set up on magnetorheological dampers, which use micro-metallic particles in the dampers to vary viscosity according to the car's dynamic sensors.

Sweet light crude oil yields the most gallons of gasoline per barrel of oil and since it has low viscosity and low density, it is comparatively inexpensive to pump, transport, and refine.
Dr. David Faxon , chief of cardiology at University of Chicago Hospital and former president of the American Heart Association, began using the device earlier this year to determine the role viscosity may play in clogging or hardening arteries.
They calculated the force in question from the contact area of the toe, and found that toe pads were still sticky two minutes after the sliding had stopped, long after the point when, according to their estimate of its viscosity, all the mucus would have drained away.
