A non-Newtonian fluid is a type of fluid whose viscosity changes with the applied shear rate or shear stress, unlike Newtonian fluids, which have a constant viscosity regardless of the applied forces. In simpler terms, the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids can vary depending on how they are being acted upon.
