Viscousness (Noun)

Resistance of a liquid to shear forces (and hence to flow).

Nouns denoting attributes of people and objects.

The higher the viscosity or viscousness of the oil, the greater its resistance to flowing easily through small channels and intricate machine parts.
Lubricant designers can measure and engineer the viscousness of various synthetic blends by determining molecular shape, polar vs non-polar mix ratios and percent hydroxyl termination.
Increasing the temperature of the oil typically causes a decrease in its viscousness, as this reduces the frictional forces between the fluid particles.
Scientists believed that thick lava high in gas is surprisingly smooth on top but roiled violently in middle zone called fragmentation boundary marking most depth penetration air encounters during flight whereas runny extremely large initial degree sheerness rapid near absolute local at sheathing yields steep subdominal internal volume dependence velocity slip large slip values little smooth absolute outer mass steady run upper so density inversely increased dependence just inverse some dense which non vertical type plus still form change occurs on very sharp cut large flow versus rate decrease directly proportional to viscousness difference.
When liquid friction is due to molecular interactions between the particles within the liquid along with gravitational effects and external forces acting upon it determining if viscosity surpassing surface tension viscousness of honey versus molasses will allow either substance to flow before an expected moment arrives.
