Detailed explanation-1: -A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton’s law of viscosity. In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid. Ketchup, for example, becomes runnier when shaken and is thus a non-Newtonian fluid.

Detailed explanation-2: -In reality most fluids are non-Newtonian, which means that their viscosity is dependent on shear rate (Shear Thinning or Thickening) or the deformation history (Thixotropic fluids).

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-Newtonian fluids are fluids that exhibit viscosity changes with time, stress, or changing shear rates. This distinctive quality is advantageous to a number of applications, such as hydraulic fracturing and contaminant remediation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Newtonian fluids are those that obey Newton’s law of constant viscosity. These fluids have constant viscosity and zero shear rate at shear stress. Non-Newtonian fluids are fluids that do not have constant viscosity and have a variable relationship with shear stress.
