Taking a step away from Newtonian fluid behavior opens up a wide range of possibilities in terms of non-Newtonian fluid properties. This complexity introduces challenges that need to be addressed. The article explores useful rheological complexity, organizing principles, and design methods to answer questions related to the utility and attainment of non-Newtonian properties.
Taking a small step away from Newtonian fluid behavior creates an explosion in the range of possibilities. Non-Newtonian fluid properties can achieve diverse flow objectives, but the complexity introduces challenges. We survey useful rheological complexity along with organizing principles and design methods as we consider the following questions: How can non-Newtonian properties be useful? What properties are needed? How can we get those properties?
