Shear flow is the flow induced by a force gradient (for a fluid). For solids, it is the gradient of shear stress forces throughout the body.

Why shear force is necessary for fluid flow?

Shear force is necessary for fluid flow because it creates a differential in velocity within the fluid, allowing it to move from one point to another. This shear force helps overcome the internal friction in the fluid and facilitates the movement of fluid particles along a surface or past each other. In essence, shear force is responsible for driving the flow of fluids.

Why fluids do not sustain shear stress?

Fluids do not sustain shear stress because they undergo continuous deformation under applied shear forces. Unlike solids that have a defined shape and can resist shear stress, fluids flow and deform when subjected to shear, resulting in no sustained shear stress. This behavior is a fundamental property of fluids known as viscosity.


What are some examples of Newtonian fluids and how do they behave under shear stress?

Newtonian fluids are fluids that have a constant viscosity, such as water and most oils. When subjected to shear stress, Newtonian fluids exhibit a linear relationship between the shear rate and shear stress, meaning they flow consistently and predictably.


What are factors that affect viscosity and flow?

Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect flow and viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to the shear forces.
