What is Non-Newtonian Fluid?
In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid. You may have come across it and didn’t know it. Do you remember in childhood mixing corn starch and water? The mixture is called “oobleck” or “magic mud”and is a perfect example of non-Newtonian fluid. When it was punched or hit it became impenetrable but a soft touch easily breaks the surface.
