👉 A turning fluid, also known as a shear-thinning or pseudoplastic fluid, is a type of fluid whose viscosity decreases with an increase in shear rate. This means that when the fluid is subjected to higher shear forces, such as those created by stirring or pumping, it becomes less resistant to flow and flows more easily. Examples include ketchup, paint, and blood. Under low shear conditions, these fluids behave like thick liquids, but under high shear conditions, they flow more freely, making them easier to handle and apply. This property is crucial in various industrial processes where fluid dynamics play a significant role.
