👉 The Scottish Fluid is a unique, non-Newtonian fluid discovered in the 1970s by researchers at the University of Glasgow. Unlike typical fluids, its viscosity changes depending on the applied shear stress; it becomes less viscous when agitated or sheared, and more viscous when left undisturbed. This unusual behavior is due to the presence of a complex mixture of polymers and colloidal particles suspended in water, which interact with each other and the fluid under stress. This property makes the Scottish Fluid an intriguing subject in rheology, offering insights into fluid dynamics and potential applications in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
