Which consequence results when a fluid exhibits non-Newtonian behaviour?

💡 Explanation

Non-Newtonian fluids exhibit varying viscosity under shear, because shear thickening or thinning alters the stress-strain relationship deviating from Newtonian behaviour. Therefore, viscosity is variable rather than constant. Density and energy dissipation are not directly affected by shear stress; laminar flow is unaffected.
