dickflüssigen
Dickflüssigen is the inflected form of the German adjective dickflüssig, meaning viscous or thick. It describes liquids that flow slowly because they exert a relatively high internal resistance to deformation. The term is used in everyday language as well as in scientific and technical contexts to characterize fluids whose viscosity is noticeably higher than that of water or other low-viscosity liquids.
Viscosity, the property behind the descriptor dickflüssig, is measured in units such as pascal-seconds (Pa·s) or
Temperature and composition strongly influence viscosity. Increasing temperature generally lowers viscosity, making a thick liquid flow
