Non‐Newtonian phenomena in simple fluids
DOI: 10.1063/1.2916042
Almost a hundred years ago, Osborne Reynolds carried out a simple experiment. He filled a leather bag with marbles, topped it with water and then twisted it, thereby inducing a shear. The water level drops because the close packing of the marbles is disrupted as layers of marbles slide over each other during the twisting motion; as a result the marbles are further apart on average, creating space that the water has to fill.
