http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which the viscosity changes with the applied strain rate. As a result, non-Newtonian fluids may not have a well-defined viscosity. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFvQkMS9HxQb37XmcRAgsRAJ9gZrUJ9j5AwKnA8Ax9Gg37dMcPJACeKoQX 2lEGV4E/cd86+MMB+ggzQ7s= =gSmj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
