what are non newtonian fliuds

Question

anonymous · Answer

the fuids whose flow property differ from newtonian fluids

anonymous · Answer

i know that they are liquids and convert to solids on applying pressure  but how does that work

anonymous · Answer

Rheopecty or rheopexy is the rare property of some non-Newtonian fluids to show a time-dependent change in viscosity; the longer the fluid undergoes shearing force, the higher its viscosity. Rheopectic fluids, such as some lubricants, thicken or solidify when shaken. The opposite type of behaviour, in which fluids become less viscous the longer they undergo shear, is called thixotropy.

examples of rheopectic fluids include gypsum pastes and printers inks.

anonymous · Answer

can you give an example of thixotrophic fluids

anonymous · Answer

Some clays are thixotropic, Drilling muds used in geotechnical applications, synovial fluid found in joints between some bones
