What does square meter/second measure?

Square meter/second (m²/s) is the SI unit for kinematic viscosity, representing a fluid's momentum diffusivity measured as dynamic viscosity divided by fluid density.

Why convert to square foot/second?

Converting to square foot/second allows engineers to work with US customary units commonly used in the United States when specifying fluid viscosity and analyzing flow regimes.

Can this converter be used for precise CFD modeling?

While useful, minor precision limits due to rounding can affect highly sensitive CFD simulations, so check conversion accuracy as needed.
