← ScienceWhich outcome results when rapidly applying force to a Newtonian fluid?
A)Shear thickening increases viscosity✓
B)Tensile failure reduces adhesion
C)Turbulence increases energy dissipation
D)Viscoelastic creep delays deformation
💡 Explanation
Shear thickening occurs because force application increases the **hydrodynamic lubrication** between particles by reducing the local mean free path; therefore viscosity goes up rather than down, because of the close confinement of fluid particles.
