- Resistance of a liquid to shear forces (and hence to flow)
- (viscous) syrupy: having a relatively high resistance to flow
- (viscous) gluey: having the sticky properties of an adhesive
- Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". ...
- Viscosity printing is a multi-color printmaking technique that incorporates principles of relief printing and intaglio printing. It was pioneered by Stanley William Hayter. ...
- In object oriented programming, viscosity refers to the ease at which a developer can add design-preserving code to a system. If it is easier to add a hack than it is to add code that fits into the program's design, then the system has high viscosity. ...
- Viscosity is also an out-of-print image and animation editing utility published by Sonic Foundry. It can work with PNG, GIF, JPG/JPEG, BMP, AVI and its native VSC format.
- The state of being viscous; (physics) A quantity expressing the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow; (psychology) A tendency to prolong interpersonal encounters
- (viscous) Having a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid; Of or pertaining to viscosity
