shear flow. Definitions: 1. a flow of a material in which parallel planes in the material are displaced in a direction parallel to each other. The definition information for shear flow is provided by Stedman's.
This pattern of flow is the result of friction within the fluid and between the fluid and the vessel wall, and is related to the fluid viscosity. This friction creates a tangential force exerted by the flowing fluid and is referred to as the wall shear stress.
