In fluid dynamics, the reduced viscosity of a polymer is the ratio of the relative viscosity increment () to the mass concentration of the species of interest. It has units of volume per unit mass.[1]
The reduced viscosity is given by:
where is the relative viscosity increment given by (Where is the viscosity of the solvent.)[1]
