A
Non-Newtonian
fluid is so named because it's properties cannot be described in terms
of the concepts of classical fluids. When stress is applied to the
liquid it exhibits properties of a solid.
It can be created easily in the home. An example is a mixture of corn
starch and water, roughly 10 parts cornstarch to 1 water.
Especially interesting is the Fluid
Dynamics reaction when it is disturbed
at certain frequencies. Using a frequency generator and a
subwoofer, the tub of fluid was placed on top of the subwoofer's
hole, which is emitting sound at 50 hz.
