👉 The hawk fluid, also known as the hawk's tail fluid, is a viscous, non-Newtonian fluid used in various industrial applications, particularly in the automotive industry for engine oil additives. It mimics the behavior of blood, exhibiting shear-thinning properties where its viscosity decreases under high shear stress, such as during engine operation. This characteristic allows the fluid to flow more easily through the engine's intricate passages, reducing friction and wear, while maintaining a thicker consistency when at rest to prevent leakage. The hawk fluid's unique properties make it an effective lubricant, enhancing engine performance and longevity.
