Abstract
Kinematic viscosity is expressed by a new formula depending on pressure at constant temperature which agrees fairly well with the experimental results at high pressure. Kinematic eddy viscosity obtained by a similar height dependent formula give agreement with the observed results in the atmosphere, also justifies the reversal of circulation in fluid convection. An interpretation regarding the rotation of the molecules and an analogy with the mesophase of liquid crystals are drawn according as the kinematic viscosity changes from decrease to increase or increase to decrease followed by a phase change involved in the new formula and the corresponding formula for kinematic eddy viscosity.
