Preface

This book has originated from a compendium of lecture notes prepared by the author to a graduate course in Rheology and Non-Newtonian Fluids at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The compendium was presented in Norwegian from 1993 and in English from 2003. The aim of the course and of this book has been to give an introduction to the subject. Fluid is the common name for liquids and gases. Typical non-Newtonian fluids are polymer solutions, thermoplastics, drilling fluids, granular materials, paints, fresh concrete and biological fluids, e.g., blood. Matter in the solid state may often be modeled as a fluid. For example, creep and stress relaxation of steel at temperature above ca. 400 °C, well below the melting te
