Gladden Department of Physics National Center for Physical Acoustics The University of Mississippi ncpa.olemiss.edu In viscous Newtonian fluids, support of shear waves is limited to the viscous boundary layer. However, non-Newtonian fluids, which have a shear modulus, support shear waves over much longer distances.…
