Description

Dyne Second per Square Centimeter (dyn·s/cm²): A CGS Unit of Viscosity

The Dyne second per square centimeter (dyn·s/cm²) is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the CGS system, equivalent to one Poise. It represents the force in dynes required to move a fluid layer over another with a velocity gradient of one centimeter per second across a one-centimeter gap.

While less common in modern applications, this unit is still encountered in specific scientific literature and historical data. Understanding this unit is crucial for interpreting legacy documents and conducting comparative analyses in fluid dynamics research.

Converting dyn·s/cm² to SI units involves multiplying by 0.1, yielding the equivalent value in Pascal seconds (Pa·s).

The Poise (P): A CGS Unit of Dynamic Viscosity

The Poise (P) is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, named after French physician Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It measures the resistance of a fluid to flow, defined as one dyne-second per square centimeter.

In SI units, 1 Poise equals 0.1 Pascal seconds (Pa·s). While the Poise is less commonly used today, it remains relevant in specific scientific contexts, particularly in rheology and fluid mechanics studies.

Understanding the Poise is essential for professionals dealing with legacy data or working in fields where CGS units are still prevalent, ensuring accurate interpretation and application of viscosity measurements.
