Dynamic viscosity, denoted by the symbol 𝜇 (mu), is a fundamental property of a fluid that describes its resistance to shear deformation or internal flow. It quantifies the frictional forces between adjacent layers of fluid as they move relative to each other. In essence, dynamic viscosity characterizes how “thick” or “sticky” a fluid is and how readily it flows under the influence of an applied force.
