Dynamic or shear viscosity is based on fluid mechanics concepts.
Consider two parallel horizontal plates (figure

), which bound a fluid layer of thickness h. If the lower plate is stationary and the upper plate of area A moves parallel to this surface at a velocity v
x
, a force F per unit area A must be applied to maintain the displacement such that :
