Square Meter per Second
m²/s
Definition
The square meter per second is the SI unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density. It measures the rate at which momentum is transferred through a fluid due to molecular motion and is fundamental in fluid mechanics and heat transfer calculations.
History/Origin
This unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standardized measure of kinematic viscosity. It replaced the older CGS unit of stokes in scientific and engineering applications, offering a more practical scale for most measurements.
Current Use
Widely used in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and chemical engineering for characterizing fluid flow behavior. It is essential for calculating Reynolds numbers, Prandtl numbers, and other dimensionless parameters in engineering analysis.

Definition
The stokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity in the CGS system, named after George Gabriel Stokes. It represents the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density and is widely used in scientific and engineering applications for measuring fluid flow characteristics.
History/Origin
Named after George Gabriel Stokes, a British mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to fluid dynamics. The stokes was the standard unit of kinematic viscosity in the CGS system and is still widely used in many industries.
Current Use
Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and fluid mechanics for measuring the kinematic viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the square meter per second for practical applications.
