  "definition": "A non-SI unit of kinematic viscosity, defined as one square centimeter per second (1 St = 1 cm^2/s). It is commonly used in fluid dynamics, particularly for liquids. The corresponding SI unit for kinematic viscosity is square meters per second (m^2/s), with 1 St equal to 10^-4 m^2/s.",
