Definition The intrinsic fluid property indicating the internal resistance to flow. Description Viscosity is a measure of how a liquid is resistant to flow; "thickness" or "thinness". Methanol has a low viscosity, while vegetable oil has a high viscosity. Viscosity generally decreases as temperature increases. Why is viscosity important? Plays a role in the movement of NAPL contaminants through the subsurface.
