Non-Newtonian Fluids

Fluids which does not obey Newton's law of viscosity

Newtonian Fluids

Fluids which obey Newton's law of viscosity

Viscosity

It is the property of a fluid which offers resistance to the movement of one layer of fluid over another adjacent layer

Mach's Number

It is defined as the square root of the ratio of the inertia force of a flowing fluid to the elastic force.

Weber's Number

It is defined as the square root of the ratio of the inertia force of a flowing fluid to the surface tension force

Euler's Number

It is defined as the square root of the ratio of the inertia force of a flowing fluid to the pressure force.

Froude's Number

It is defined as the square root of the ratio of inertia force of a flowing fluid to the gravity force.

Reynold's Number

It is the ratio of inertia force of a flowing fluid and the viscous force of the fluid.
