Relation Viscosity

AI Thread Summary

Wettability and viscosity are independent properties of fluids, with no direct mathematical or physical relationship between them. Wettability is influenced by the interfacial properties of the three phases in contact, while viscosity pertains to the bulk characteristics of the liquid. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for applications in fluid dynamics and material science. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing how these properties operate separately in various contexts. Overall, the relationship between wet ability and viscosity is not straightforward and requires careful consideration of their individual characteristics.

Hi everibody...
I do not know is this question will be stupid...
is there relation mathematical, phisics,etc..between wet ability and viscosity of one liquid type oil?
Tanks and best regard

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev
