How do you measure shear viscosity?

Apparent (shear) viscosity: Apparent, or shear, viscosity refers to the relationship between viscosity and shear rate. In Newtonian fluids, this value doesn't change, but with non-Newtonian fluids, apparent viscosity is directly affected by the shear rate. It can be calculated by dividing shear stress by shear rate.

What is low shear viscosity?

Image result for what do you mean by Shear viscosity
At low shear rates, the shear is too low to be impeded by entanglements and the viscosity value of the system is η0, or the zero shear rate viscosity. The value of η∞ represents the lowest viscosity attainable and may be orders of magnitude lower than η0, depending on the degree of shear thinning.

How to Calculate Fluid Dynamic or Shear Viscosity Formula?

Fluid Dynamic or Shear Viscosity Formula calculator uses Dynamic Viscosity = (Applied Force*Distance between Two Masses)/(Area of Solid Plates*Peripheral Speed) to calculate the Dynamic Viscosity, The Fluid dynamic or shear viscosity formula is defined as a coefficient that characterizes the viscous properties of a fluid and is related to the absorption (loss) of energy (or else, damping) due to the presence of velocity gradients in the fluid. Dynamic Viscosity is denoted by μ symbol.
