Updated February 20, 2017. Definition: A gradient, or graduated fill, is a color fill that gradually blends from one color to another. A gradient can contain more than two colors, all fading smoothly from one to another. Gradients are very useful for creating shading for three-dimensional and metallic effects.
The velocity gradient, dv/dx, is a measure of the change in speed at which the layers move with respect to one another. This describes the shearing a liquid goes through and is referred to as the shear rate (S) which is reported in reciprocal second (sec-1). The term F/A indicates the force per unit area required to produce the shearing action. It is referred to as shear stress and will be symbolized by FÌ. Its unit of measurement is dynes per square centimeter (dynes/cm2).
