Line 68:
Viscosity Coefficients == k, n, muLow, muHigh, tau0
 
Where K is the viscosity coefficient in Pa S when n = 1. Where n=1, this relates to a Newtonian fluid. You can then use an appropriate value for tau0, the stress required to make the fluid move. The Non-Newtonian model uses the Herschel-Bulkley approach which can be used to model Newtonian fluids with different viscosities. See section 5.4 of the new release notes [[https://downloads.tuflow.com/TUFLOW/Releases/2020-10/TUFLOW%20Release%20Notes.2020-10-AD.pdf here]] for more information.
 
The graphs below explains the Herschel-Bulkley approach and it’s flexibility.
