d
is referred to as the dilatational vis-
cosity, through which there is an additional transport property in generaliz-
ing Newton’s law of viscosity.
d
is identically zero for ideal, monatomic
Eq. (6.4). For incompressible liquids, i.e. 0
u , the term containing
d
in Eq. (6.4) vanishes and consequently for motions of fluid it becomes un-
important.
As an alternative, the constitutive equation for the Newtonian fluid can
be written, using the dilatational viscosity

As another part of correspondence, it is important to know that an ar-
gument on

is a controversial subject. Namely, if we follow Stokes’ hy-
pothesis, we may simply set

Determination of
0
is, however, still controversial. The second type
of treatment for
0
is simply to ignore the
u
0
term identically, since
the u
0
term is found in many, very small situations. However, in deal-
ing with a shock wave or sound absorption, the argument for
0
must be
included. Nevertheless, in the limit of an incompressible fluid, the consti-
tutive equation is given, knowing that
gases, while it is not true for polyatomic gases or liquids. The dilatational
viscosity is the fluid property, which relates to the degree of departure of
the physical pressure from its thermodynamic pressure. However, unless
there are extreme cases of the rate of expansion, we may be able to disre-
gard the inclusion of dilatational viscosity
