- Are there any equations relating the viscosity of fluids to any kinematic variables (velocity, acceleration, kinetic energy)?
This is my first thread here, so let me know if I didn't adhere to a format i was to follow. I'm in the middle of a project depicting the change that an oscillation of fluid inside a drinking straw faces depending on the viscosity of the liquid.
For reference, this is exactly the same example I'm using: https://aapt.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1119/1.5095945?journalCode=ajp
The papers included all did their tests at extremely low viscosities, ≈0.5 to 1 cp, so I couldn't seem to find any relation over there. Essentially, what I need to do is corellate the amplitude of my oscillation, as well as the damping factor to the viscosity of that liquid. I've done the testing and there is considerable difference between 2 and 20 cp. I can make a mathematical relationship easily, but in order to hypothesize first I need to depict the known relationships between viscosity and what it may impact.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
