👉 The Moore fluid, named after physicist John C. Moore, is a theoretical model used to describe the behavior of certain complex fluids that exhibit non-Newtonian properties, especially at low shear rates. These fluids can show a range of behaviors from shear-thinning (where viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate) to shear-thickening (where viscosity increases with increasing shear rate), depending on their molecular structure and interactions. The Moore fluid model is particularly useful in understanding and predicting the flow behavior of polymer solutions, suspensions, and other complex fluids where traditional Newtonian fluid models fall short. It provides a simplified yet effective framework for analyzing how these materials respond to different types of mechanical stresses, making it valuable in fields such as materials science, chemical engineering, and biophysics.
