Infinite shear viscosity refers to the viscosity of a fluid measured at very high shear rates, where the flow behavior becomes independent of the rate of shear applied. In this regime, the fluid's resistance to flow stabilizes, allowing for a consistent measurement of its viscosity. This concept is particularly relevant in materials that exhibit non-Newtonian behavior, where viscosity can change based on the shear rate. Infinite shear viscosity is critical in understanding the flow behavior of complex fluids such as polymers and suspensions.
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.
get the body of the shear and a measuring tape and start measuring!
Any fluid is an emaple of viscosity.
The absolute viscosity is 1.2 at 31%
In general, you cannot. An infinite number divided by any non-zero number is still infinite. An infinite number divided by another infinite number may or may not be infinite.
To answer my own question :), if I interpret the differentials correctly, viscosity does have its maximum when there are no shearing forces, regardless of whether the fluid is newtonian or not. So, in short, yes.
Shear rate and viscosity are related to each other. According to shear rate and viscosity we can classifying the materials especially paints. Fluids are divided into two types like 1.NEWNONION FLUIDS and 2.NON NWETONINON FLUIDS based on shear rate and viscosity. In fluids if there no change in viscosity with respective shear rate, such type fluids are known as nwetonion fluids. Viscosity changes with respective shear rate such type of fluids are known as non nwetonion fluids.
Viscosity is constant to the flow of the fluid.
The zero shear viscosity is the value of the apparent viscosity (quotient between shear stress and shear rate) of a liquid in the limit of zero shear rate (i.e., when the fluid it is at rest). Therefore it is not the result of a direct measure but a calculus or interpolation from experimental results at the lower shear rates values. The most important thing is its physical meaning. It represents the ability of the material to avoid sedimentation when storage. A high zero shear viscosity is interpreted as a the material will show homogeneous during long storage.
Viscosity is the resistance offered against shear force by a fluid.
Pseudo plasticity discusses to the decrease of viscosity when shear forces are applied. The tougher the shear stress the pseudo plastic material is subjected to, the tougher the shear thinning effect and the tougher the reduction in viscosity.

The study of non-Newtonian fluids involves understanding fluids that do not follow Newton's law of viscosity. These fluids exhibit unique behaviors such as shear-thinning (viscosity decreases with increased shear rate) or shear-thickening (viscosity increases with increased shear rate). Understanding these behaviors is important in various industries such as food processing, cosmetics, and medicine.
Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect flow and viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to the shear forces.

The above description relates to viscosity.
While both adjectives describe a fluid with a decreasing viscosity, thixotropic materials exhibit this change as a result of time (under constant shear) while pseudoplastic materials exhibit this change as a result of increasing the rate of shear stress.
