An abbreviation for viscosity, a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. In drilling fluids, it indicates the fluid's ability to carry cuttings, suspend weighting materials, and maintain wellbore stability. Viscosity is measured using a Marsh funnel or a rotational viscometer, with readings often reported in seconds per quart or centipoise.
