convert dynamic viscosity to kinematic viscosity

The dynamic viscosity of two different fluids can be the same. The kinematic viscosity gives the inherent resistance of the fluid to flow when there is no external force applied to it except gravity. When the resistance to flow is measured under the weight of gravity, then the viscosity is called kinematic viscosity. The dynamic viscosity measures the resistance offered by the fluid to the flow when an external force is applied. The dynamic viscosity divided by the density of the fluid gives kinematic viscosity. The absolute or dynamic viscosity is the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. In this article, we will compare the dynamic vs. kinematic viscosity, it is important to note that no two fluids can have the same kinematic viscosity, but they can have the same dynamic viscosity.

The viscosity of fluids can be expressed in terms of either dynamic viscosity or kinematic viscosity. Fluids differ in the internal resistance that is exerted, causing differences in viscosity as well. In fluids, the resistance to flow or to deform is known as viscosity. In fluids, the resistance to flow or to deform is known as viscosity Whenever a fluid is not subjected to physical forces other than gravitational force, kinematic viscosity is the right measurement.

When external forces are applied to a fluid, dynamic viscosity measurements are the best choice. No two fluids can have the same kinematic viscosity, but they can have the same dynamic viscosity.
