What Does AV Stand For?
AV stands for Apparent Viscosity
Apparent Viscosity (AV) is a rheological property that characterizes the flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids, reflecting their resistance to flow under applied shear stress. Unlike Newtonian fluids, where viscosity remains constant, apparent viscosity varies with shear rate, making it essential for understanding and predicting the performance of materials in various industrial applications, including food, cosmetics, and petroleum products.
