Non-Newtonian Fluids
Claimed by Kyle Sabell
A non-Newtonian fluid is a specific type of fluid which does not behave in the same manner as regular fluids. The most notable difference in non-Newtonian fluids is that their viscosity is dependent on the shear rate, or the rate that shearing deformation is applied. In a Newtonian fluid,
