'''Viscosity''' is a measure of a [[fluid|fluid's]] elasticrate-dependent [[drag (physics)|resistance]] to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another.<ref name="Britanica">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Viscosity |author= |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia Britannica |date=26 June 2023 |access-date=4 August 2023 |url= https://www.britannica.com/science/viscosity}}</ref> For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of ''thickness''; for example, [[syrup]] has a higher viscosity than [[water]].<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HmfLP3AbMxkC&pg=PA1928 |page=1928 |publisher=[[Marshall Cavendish]] |title=Growing up with Science|date=2006 |isbn=978-0-7614-7521-7 }}</ref> Viscosity is defined scientifically as a force multiplied by a time divided by an area. Thus its [[SI unit]]s are newton-seconds per square meter, or pascal-seconds.<ref name="Britanica"/>
 
Viscosity quantifies the internal [[friction|frictional force]] between adjacent layers of fluid that are in relative motion.<ref name="Britanica"/> For instance, when a viscous fluid is forced through a tube, it flows more quickly near the tube's center line than near its walls.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XOmlecHzmiwC&pg=PA7 |page=7 |title=A Study of Laminar Compressible Viscous Pipe Flow Accelerated by an Axial Body Force, with Application to Magnetogasdynamics |author=E. Dale Martin |publisher=[[NASA]] |year=1961}}</ref> Experiments show that some [[stress (physics)|stress]] (such as a [[pressure]] difference between the two ends of the tube) is needed to sustain the flow. This is because a force is required to overcome the friction between the layers of the fluid which are in relative motion. For a tube with a constant rate of flow, the strength of the compensating force is proportional to the fluid's viscosity.

A two-exponential equation for the viscosity can be derived within the Dyre shoving model of supercooled liquids, where the Arrhenius energy barrier is identified with the high-frequency [[shear modulus]] times a characteristic shoving volume.{{sfn|Dyre|Olsen|Christensen|1996|p=2171}}{{sfn | Hecksher | Dyre | 2015 | p=}} Upon specifying the temperature dependence of the shear modulus via thermal expansion and via the repulsive part of the intermolecular potential, another two-exponential equation is retrieved:{{sfn|Krausser|Samwer|Zaccone|2015|p=13762}}
