Non-Newtonian fluids form an extremely wide class of different materials, whose only common features are fluidity and a failure to obey Newton's law of friction. It is therefore impossible to deal with the subject of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics unless one of two choices is made: the analysis is either restricted to a specific class of fluids sharing a common form of mechanical behavior, or is restricted to only the principles of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, i.e., to that body of knowledge which is supposedly applicable to all fluids. In this book we have adhered to the second choice, and only in the last two chapters have we attempted to hint at methods of approach that could be chosen for the solution of actual problems relative to specific materials.
