👉 A resist fluid, also known as a viscous fluid or non-Newtonian fluid, is a substance that exhibits shear-thinning behavior, meaning its viscosity decreases as the applied shear stress or shear rate increases. This fluid is commonly used in industrial processes for applications like lubrication, coating, and mixing, where its unique properties allow it to flow easily under low stress but maintain structural integrity under higher stress conditions. Examples of resist fluids include polymer solutions, suspensions, and certain biological fluids like blood. The behavior of these fluids is often described by complex rheological models, which account for their non-linear response to applied forces.
