Dynamic Viscosity vs. Kinematic Viscosity

Dynamic viscosity is also called just viscosity, or the coefficient of viscosity and is η. This is a measure of a fluid's resistance to shear flow, eg, how 'thick' it is.

Kinematic viscosity is a ratio of the dynamic viscosity and density of a fluid,

where v is kinematic viscosity, n is viscosity, and p is density.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity explains it well.

Big whirls have bigger whirls that feed upon velocity.

Smaller whirls have smaller whirls and so on, till viscosity.

absolute viscosity is the commulative resistance offered by fluid against flow while kinematic viscosity is the rate of flow of unit section(differential linear element) of flow........as the unit indicates cm.cm/sec
