Abstract
Chapter 6 has presented the simplest and most commonly used models of non-Newtonian fluids, the generalized Newtonian fluid s. These models are well suited for steady shear flow and in particular steady viscometric flows, and are also used for unsteady flows of purely viscous fluids. However, a main objection to these models is that they do not reflect normal stress differences in shear flows.
