It is a substance that does not permanently resist distortion and, hence, will change its shape.

It is a branch of momentum transfer, concerned with fluids at rest.

It is a branch of momentum transfer concerned with fluids in motion.

Gases are considered to be __.

This is the type of flow that does not involve lateral mixing such that adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards, and there are no cross currents perpendicular to the direction of flow, nor eddies or swirls of fluid.

In this type of flow, eddies form which leads to lateral mixing.

It is the property of a fluid which gives rise to forces that resist the relative movement of adjacent layers in the fluid.

These are fluids have a linear relation between the shear stress and the velocity gradient (rate of shear). This also means that its viscosity is constant and independent of rate of shear.

These are fluids do not have a linear relation between the shear stress and the velocity gradient (rate of shear). This also means that its viscosity does not remain constant and is a function of rate of shear.
