For systems showing non-Newtonian behaviour when measured in steady
simple shear,
a
coefficient
equal to
at a given value of the
shear rate
, where
is the stress;
is the limiting
viscosity at zero
shear rate, and
the
limiting
viscosity at infinite
shear rate;
![[ η 0 ]](../../mathml/S05634-6.png)
is the limit of
intrinsic viscosity at zero shear.
