Shear Viscosity of Water

Description

Calculates the shear viscosity of water, in centipoise (g/m/sec). Valid for 0 < t < 30 ^\circC, 0 < S < 36, 1 < P < 1000 bars.

Based on the code "CANDI" by B.P. Boudreau

Usage

viscosity(S = 35, t = 25, P = 1.013253)

Arguments

S	salinity, -,
t	temperature, ^\circC,
P	True pressure, bar.

Details

The details given in the original code by B. Boudreau are repeated here:

Uses the equation given by Kukulka et al. (1987).

Value

Shear visocisity in centipoise.
