Velocity Gradient

Velocity gradient, abbreviated as \(\nu\) (Greek symbol nu), is how the velocity of a fluid changes between parallel planes or different points within the fluid.

 

Velocity gradient formula
\(\large{ \nu = \frac { v } { l } \large }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ \nu }\)   (Greek symbol nu) = velocity gradient	\(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\)	\(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\)
\(\large{ l }\) = distance	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
\(\large{ v }\) = velocity	\(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\)	\(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\)
