• Viscosity of often referred to as the thickness of a fluid.
You can think of water (low viscosity) and honey (high
viscosity). At a molecular level, viscosity is a result the
interaction between the different molecules in a fluid.
This can be also understood as friction between the
molecules in the fluid. Just like in the case of friction
between moving solids, viscosity will determine the
energy required to make a fluid flow.

• U = velocity of object relative to the fluid; l = object length; S = surface area; µ =
dynamic viscosity; p = object density

• High Re values are associated with dense, fast and long
(streamline) objects.
