What does square meter/second measure in fluid dynamics?

Square meter/second is the SI unit of kinematic viscosity that represents the ratio of dynamic viscosity to fluid density, describing how quickly momentum diffuses through the fluid.

When should I use nanostokes instead of square meter/second?

Nanostokes are ideal for characterizing very low-viscosity fluids, such as in microfluidics or precise viscometer calibration, where higher resolution units than the SI are needed.

Are there any challenges when converting to nanostokes?

Yes, converting to nanostokes results in very large numbers, which may be difficult to handle computationally or interpret correctly without proper context.
