What is viscous flow?

noun. flow of a fluid in which its velocity at any point is constant or varies in a regular manner. It can be represented by streamlines. Also called: viscous flow. Compare turbulent flow, See also laminar flow.

What is viscous flow in fluid mechanics?

Viscous and Inviscid flow: The fluid flow in which frictional effects become signification, are treated as viscous flow. When two fluid layers move relatively to each other, frictional force develops between them which is quantified by the fluid property 'viscosity'. Boundary layer flows are the example viscous flow.
