volume viscosity (or dilatational viscosity)
A quantity ΞΆ which enters into equations at any point where the flow involves a change in volume, i.e. is dilatational. If the deformation is purely dilatational, the average of three normal stress components is:
Math - e
where Math - ei is the hydrostatic pressure at the point considered in the absence of motion.
