Hey everybody,
Newtonian fluids differ from regular fluid like water & air because shear rate is a function of shear stress.
In other words, a non-Newtonian fluid will become harder(more like a solid) or softer/thinner depending on home much force is applied in a given time.
Here is a general chart
A fluid can become solid for an instance and turn right back into a fluid.
