Flow behaviour of
fluids
Thus, the dynamic viscosity η is a characteristic parameter of the fluid concerned and
depends on t he t emperat ure. Theref ore t he viscosity is always indicat ed t oget her with t he
corresponding t emperat ure.
Ideal viscous flow behaviour:
Fluids with an ideal viscous flow behaviour are called Newtonian fluids. They are viscous
fluids with linear molecules. They show a proportional flow behaviour.
Typical Newt onian f luids are:
water, salad oil, milk, sugar
solut ions, honey.
