Fluidity
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-013113
A measure of the ease with which a fluid flows, representing the reciprocal of its dynamic viscosity. A substance with high fluidity flows readily, while one with low fluidity is more viscous. It is typically expressed in reciprocal poise (P⁻¹) or reciprocal pascal-seconds (Pa⁻¹ s⁻¹).
