Interactive Viscosity Experiment Simulator

Visualize how viscosity affects fluid motion in real-time

Understanding Viscosity

Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. When water increases in viscosity, it flows more slowly because the internal friction between molecules increases. This viscosity experiment demonstrates how higher viscosity (η) reduces flow velocity under the same applied force.

While this viscosity experiment focuses on fluid flow resistance, understanding thermal expansion experiment principles can enhance your grasp of fluid behavior. Temperature changes affect both viscosity and volume, making thermal expansion experiment studies complementary to viscosity research.

Key Learning: Higher viscosity (η) → Slower flow velocity. The relationship is inversely proportional under constant applied force.
