This part of the course treats Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, that is the mechanics of materials that we would like to call 'fluids', but do not obey the Newtonian rheological model of a linear relation between stress and shear rate. The most familiar example is a shear thinning fluid, where the viscosity is a (typically decreasing) function of the shear rate. We will go beyond that to discuss viscoelastic fluids, both linear and nonlinear models and phenomena.
