1. Elastic Solid Fluid
2. Thixotropic Fluid (n<1, B=/=0)
3. Ideal Plastic Fluid (n=1, B=/=0)
4. Rheopectic/ Rheological Fluid (n>1, B=/=0)
5. Pseudo Plastic Fluid (n>1, B=0)
6. Newtonian Fluid (n=1, B=0)
7. Dilatant Fluid (n<1, B=0)
8. Ideal Fluid

When B=0,

• n=1 Newtonian fluid, Viscosity invariant of shear stress (air, water, gasoline)
• n>1 Shear thickening Fluid/ Pseudo Plastic Fluid, Viscosity increases with increase in deformation (paint, blood, paper pulp, mud slurry)
• n<1 Shear Thinning/ Dilatant Fluid, Viscosity decreases with increase in shear stress (butter, starch, concentrated sugar solution, suspended sand solution)

When B=/=0,

• n=1 Ideal Bingham Fluid/ Ideal Plastic Fluid (tooth paste, drilling mud)
• n>1 Rheological Fluid, Viscosity increases with increase in shear stress
• n<1 Thixotropic Fluid, Viscosity decreases with increase in shear stress (printer’s ink)
