| 释义 | viscosity (once / 34459 pages) n Viscosity is the thickness of a liquid. Water flows easily. Honey does not — that's why it has greater viscosity than water. Viscosity, pronounced "vis-KOSS-ih-tee," tells you how sticky a liquid is. In the working of machines and car engines, viscosity is important. Thick oils and lubricants that have high viscosity, meaning they coat and cling, keep hard metal parts from wearing down as they rub together. Oils with dense viscosity keep machine parts from having too much friction and burning out. WORD FAMILYviscosity: viscosities+/viscous: viscosity, viscously, viscousness USAGE EXAMPLES“We showed that decreasing champagne viscosity would improve drop evaporation,” said Liger-Belair. The Guardian(Dec 23, 2016) Over the next few years, she and Karp tested different versions of the glue, each with a slight variation in viscosity or adhesive properties. The Guardian(Oct 25, 2016) If the viscosity theory is correct, the waves should propagate in the opposite direction, from the ground to the clouds.
