Which outcome results when exceeding a fluid's yield stress?

💡 Explanation

Non-Newtonian flow occurs because a yield stress fluid only deforms after exceeding it, initiating flow by overcoming inter-molecular attractions, rather than exhibiting Newtonian behavior. Therefore, option A occurs, rather than a transition to turbulence or cavitation which typically happen at higher velocities.
