  "term": "Bingham flow",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of non-Newtonian fluid behavior where the fluid behaves as a rigid body at low stresses but flows as a viscous fluid once a certain yield stress is exceeded. Below this yield stress, the material deforms elastically without flowing. Many suspensions, such as drilling muds and toothpaste, exhibit Bingham plastic behavior.",
