Right, I think this would be classified as a non-Newtonian fluid, IF it’s classified as a fluid at all. I don’t see why not; glass is technically a fluid. It just flows very, very slowly.

That would be my guess, which is worth virtually nothing.

:D

This does sound like a non-Newtonian fluid. I’ve only worked with non-Newtonian fluids a handful of times at industrial scale. One in particular drove me nuts designing the pumping and piping for a liquid-solid slurry. The others were gases at supercritical pressure and above and couldn’t directly measure anything. Pumping, piping and reactor design were by trial and error. Very expensive trial and error up through semi-commercial plant scale and heavy R&D support to commercial scale for years afterward.
