👉 The Taylor fluid, also known as the Taylor viscosity model or the Taylor-Klein theory, is a theoretical framework used to describe the behavior of highly viscous fluids under certain conditions, particularly in the context of non-Newtonian fluids. It extends the classical Newtonian fluid model by incorporating a viscosity term that depends on the shear rate and the history of the fluid's deformation. This model is particularly useful for describing fluids that exhibit shear-thinning or shear-thickening behavior, where the viscosity changes with the applied stress or strain rate. The Taylor fluid accounts for the complex interactions within the fluid at the molecular level, providing a more accurate representation of its rheological properties under various flow conditions.
