| thixotropy |
A flow characteristic evidenced by a decrease in viscosity of a fluid when it is stirred at a constant or increasing rate of shear. When the stirring or shearing is discontinued, the apparent viscosity of the fluid gradually increases back to the original value. Changes in both directions are dependent on time as well as shear.
