| newtonian | Of or pertaining to Sir Isaac Newton, or his discoveries. Newtonian philosophy, the philosophy of Sir Isaac Newton; applied to the doctrine of the universe as expounded in Newton's "Principia," to the modern or experimental philosophy (as opposed to the theories of Descartes and others), and, most frequently, to the mathematical theory of universal gravitation. <astronomy> Newtonian telescope, a reflecting telescope, in which rays from the large speculum are received by a plane mirror placed diagonally in the axis, and near the open end of the tube, and thrown at right angles toward one side of the tube, where the image is formed and viewed through the eyeplace. Newtonian theory of light. See Note under Light. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| newtonian aberration | When using white light through a lens system, it is inevitable that different wave lengths (colours) are brought to a focus at slightly different points. As a consequence, there are chromatic aberations in the image, good microscope objectives are therefore corrected for this at two wave lengths (achromats) or at three wave lengths (apochromats), as well as for spherical aberration. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Newtonian constant of gravitation | A universal constant relating the gravitational force, f., attracting two masses, m1 and m2, toward each other when they are separated by a distance, r, in the equation: f = G(m1m2/r2); it has the value of 6.67259 × 10-8 dyne cm2 g-2 = 6.67259 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 in SI units.

| newtonian flow | The type of flow characteristic of a newtonian fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| newtonian fluid | A fluid in which flow and rate of shear are always proportional to the applied stress; such fluid precisely obeys Poiseuille's law. Compare: non-newtonian fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| non-Newtonian fluid | <chemistry, physics> A fluid in which the viscosity varies depending upon the shear stress. The effect can arise because of alignment of nonspherical molecules as flow is established or because of suspended deformable particles as in blood. It relates to a fluid in which flow and rate of shear are not always proportional to the applied stress and which does not obey Poiseuille's law. See: anomalous viscosity, Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect, Bingham plastic. Compare: newtonian fluid. (21 Jun 2000) |
| absolute viscosity | Force per unit area applied tangentially to a fluid, causing unit rate of displacement of parallel planes separated by a unit distance; units in CGS system: poise. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anomalous viscosity | The viscous behaviour of nonhomogenous fluids or suspensions, e.g., blood, in which the apparent viscosity increases as flow or shear rate decreases toward zero. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apparent viscosity | <physiology> This refers to the ratio of shear stress to shear rate in a fluid, this ratio is dependent on the rate of shear. (09 Oct 1997) |
| blood viscosity | The internal resistance of the blood to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as sickle cell anaemia and polycythemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| magnetic viscosity | <physics> A magnetic field in a conducting fluid will damp fluid motions perpendicular to the field lines, similar to ordinary viscosity, even in the absence of sizeable mechanical forces or electric fields. (09 Oct 1997) |
| relative viscosity | The ratio of the viscosity of a solution or dispersion to the viscosity of the solvent or continuous phase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viscosity | <chemistry> A physical property of fluids that determines the internal resistance to shear forces. (18 Nov 1997) |
| coefficient of viscosity | The value of the force per unit area required to maintain a unit relative velocity between two parallel planes a unit distance apart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Poiseuille's viscosity coefficient | An expression of the viscosity as determined by the capillary tube method; the coefficient η = (πPr4t/8vl), where P is the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the tube, r the radius of the tube, l its length, and v the volume of liquid delivered in the time t. If volume is in cm3, time is in seconds, and l and r are in cm, then n will be in poise. (05 Mar 2000) |
