👉 The Simpson fluid, also known as the Simpson ether, is a non-Newtonian fluid with unique properties that defy conventional fluid behavior. Unlike typical fluids, its viscosity changes in response to applied stress or shear rate; under low shear rates, it behaves like a viscous liquid, but when stressed, it can temporarily solidify, forming a gel-like structure. This dual nature arises from its composition of polymer chains that align and entangle under shear, creating a temporary network. The fluid's behavior is also influenced by temperature and concentration of polymers, making it a fascinating subject for studying complex fluid dynamics and material science.
