2) (35 points) It is a common practice when examining a fluid's viscous behavior to plot the shear strain rate (velocity gradient) dv dy on the abscissa versus shear stress (t) on the ordinate. When a fluid has a straight-line behavior between these two variables it is called a Newtonian fluid, and the resulting relationship is where u is the fluid viscosity. Many common fluids follow this behavior such as water, milk, and oil. Fluids that do not behave in this way are called non-Newtonian. Some examples of non-Newtonian fluids are shown in the figure below Shear sirsin For Bingham plastics, there is a yield stress ty that must be overcome before flow will begin,
