Non-Newtonian fluids are materials whose viscosity changes with applied stress or strain rate. Some examples include ketchup, paint, quicksand, and blood. Their viscosity may decrease with increasing stress (shear thinning), increase with increasing stress (shear thickening), or change over time when under constant stress (thixotropic or rheopectic behavior).
