What is the differences and relations between viscosity and yield value?

Dear All, What is the differences and relations between viscosity and yield value ? Any comment please.

    my understanding is this way: viscosity is the resistance to flow, which means if something is very resistant to flow it is more viscous than the other liquid that flows easily (e…

    There is a Casson viscosity and yield value which are used to control chocolate quality though the control in the amount of fat or through emulsifier like lecithin, ammonium phosp…

    [quote "foodspecialist, post:8, topic:1466"] Yield value is amount of force that initiate flow . It is a level of force where flow starts . There is no meaning of yield value when…
