The symbol for viscosity is commonly represented by η (eta) or μ (mu).
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Different symbols are used in scientific and engineering contexts to denote viscosity.
According to the provided information from Wikipedia's page on Viscosity, the common symbols for viscosity are:
- η (eta)
- μ (mu)
These symbols typically represent the dynamic viscosity (also known as absolute viscosity) of a fluid. Dynamic viscosity quantifies the internal resistance to flow when one layer of fluid is sliding over another.
While both symbols η and μ are widely accepted and used depending on the specific field or convention, they refer to the same physical property – the dynamic viscosity.
