= Carreau fluid
{wiki=Carreau_fluid}
Carreau fluid is a type of non-Newtonian fluid characterized by its shear-thinning behavior, which means its viscosity decreases with an increase in shear rate. This behavior is typically described by the Carreau model, which is a mathematical representation used to describe the flow behavior of such fluids. The Carreau model is especially useful for fluids that exhibit a transition between a more viscous state at low shear rates and a less viscous state at high shear rates.
