  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006344",
  "term": "Kinematic viscosity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow under the influence of gravity, representing the ratio of its dynamic viscosity to its density. This property describes how quickly momentum diffuses through a fluid. It is typically expressed in units of square meters per second (m²/s) or Stokes (St).",
