Both the static plot and the dynamic animation of Hagen-Poiseuille flow illustrate the same fundamental principle: the laminar, parabolic velocity profile, $v(r)=V_{\text {max }}\left(1-(r / R)^2\right)$, is the governing characteristic of fluid transport in a capillary viscometer. The static visualization confirms the accuracy of numerical methods (FDM) by showing its convergence to the analytical parabolic curve, thereby establishing FDM's reliability for solving the underlying Navier-Stokes equations, even in its simplest form. The dynamic animation reinforces this insight by showing tracer particles moving fastest at the pipe's center ( $V_{\text {max }}$ ) and exhibiting zero velocity at the wall due to the no-slip condition, visually confirming that flow speed depends only on the radial position, which directly leads to the critical volumetric flow scaling $Q \propto \Delta P \cdot R^4$.
