This Demonstration shows the velocity distribution for the unsteady flow of a Bingham fluid initially at rest in a circular pipe, when suddenly subjected to a constant pressure gradient. Bingham fluids are viscous fluids that require the application of a shear stress exceeding a critical value (the yield stress) to begin flowing.
