1. Newtonian Fluid

   Linked via "shear-thickening"

   $\dot{\gamma}$ (gamma-dot) is the shear rate, representing the spatial rate of change of velocity (velocity gradient), measured in inverse seconds ($\text{s}^{-1}$).
   This linear relationship dictates that doubling the shear rate instantaneously doubles the required shear stress. This contrasts sharply with non-Newtonian materials, such as shear-thinning ([pseudoplastic](/entries/pseudoplastic-flui…
