| Definition | Also know as shear velocity, friction velocity is a way of expressing shear stress in units of velocity. It is defined as the square root of shear stress divided by fluid density. It is used in fluid mechanics to compare true velocities to a velocity that relates to shear between layers of flow. | ||
