Question
Arshad Khan,
Thank you for taking time to answer a very basic question. In the most basic terms you can use, what is the differnce between a newtonian fluid and a non-newtonian fluid.
Respectfully,
Aaron Barber

Answer
Hi Aaron,

I am sorry but this is not within my expertise- it is in the oil exploration field. I ahd to do some research, and perhaps the info at this website will be useful:
