👉 The Mw fluid, or more commonly known as the Mw viscosity parameter, is a measure used in the study of non-Newtonian fluids to describe their flow behavior. It quantifies the fluid's resistance to shear stress, essentially indicating how easily it flows under applied force. Unlike Newtonian fluids, whose viscosity remains constant regardless of shear rate, non-Newtonian fluids like those exhibiting Mw behavior have viscosities that change with the applied shear stress or shear rate. This parameter is crucial for understanding and predicting the flow characteristics of complex fluids, such as polymer solutions, suspensions, and biological fluids, which are prevalent in various industrial and natural processes. The Mw fluid is particularly useful in applications ranging from food processing to biomedical engineering, where precise control over fluid behavior is essential.
