  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-001810",
  "term": "Herschel-Bulkley fluid",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A non-Newtonian fluid model that exhibits both a yield stress and shear-thinning behavior. It begins to flow only after a certain shear stress is applied, and its viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate. Drilling fluids often exhibit Herschel-Bulkley characteristics, requiring specific rheological models for accurate hydraulic calculations.",
