shear dependent viscosity

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S05634
For systems showing non-Newtonian behaviour when measured in steady
simple shear
, a
coefficient
η equal to σD at a given value of the
shear rate
D, where σ is the stress; η0 is the limiting
viscosity
at zero
shear rate
, and η the limiting
viscosity
at infinite
shear rate
; [η0] is the limit of
intrinsic viscosity
at zero shear.
