Blood (like ketchup) is a "shear thinning fluid" that becomes less viscous with increasing pressure and it is this that allows blood to flow into the narrowest of capillaries. The flow properties of water are, in contrast, essentially constant.

So as far as I understand it is once a fluid goes outside of the constant coefficient it is an NNF whether it thickens or thins
 
Non-Newtonian means a nonlinear relationship between stress and shear but there are two forms. The cornstarch is the example of fluid becoming thicker when you apply pressure, blood is an example of fluid becoming thinner.

Hmm, I had a quick google as that is the best way to become an expert. It talks about shear. But I wonder why i had a venesection.....maybe it is down to blood pressure?
 
Yes so don't try running over a river of blood

it would depend on the concentration of red blood cells, but you also mentioned shear earlier. You try and run across a water/cornstarch river without the correct ratio and you could be walking on a near solid of a solution that mimics a fluid.
 
I aint getting into your melt fest astro, scientific research says blood is an NNF and it is worth discussing the merit of that, not posting about the other thread and posting end of tags you melt
 
A change in the constant coefficient of Newtonian fluids by a fluid, is an NNF whether it thins anomalously or thickens anomalously, what Astro is misunderstanding is that NNFs dont only get thicker. They don't they can thin too and still be NNFs
 
**** me Sisu slowing coming to understand the point I made a page ago while thinking he is the one who understands and I don't

It lasted less than a day I see.

Glass isn't a liquid btw <ok>
Glass is a fluid the slowest moving fluid known afaik, it is not a liquid, a fluid, go look up the difference

and astro brought up that ****, and liked his post, waiting your chance to jump in and wreck everything again by ignorantly disagreeing with me and being wrong too.

Chill man ffs.
Why start calling people ******s every time they disagree with you?

See, Astro started this all off by cacking about the other thread, which was wrecked so I closed it and started this thread to just talk about science.

it was going well till 2 certain people showed up to ignorantly disagree with what I say and refer to the other thread and obviously me.

Now as on the other thread everyone is talking about me, Where did I call someone a ****** on this thread?

It's a myth that it remains fluid indefinitely. It's been a matter of debate for donkeys and the latest research last year has nailed it.

I liked astro's post because he was correct and you started your usual when he corrected you.

1 day <laugh>
