Rheology

the ratio of extensional to shear viscosity, equal to three for Newtonian liquids and much larger for strain-hardening polymer fluids.

In rheology, Trouton ratio refers to the ratio of extensional to shear viscosity, equal to three for Newtonian liquids and much larger for strain-hardening polymer fluids. This meaning comes from Trouton (1906) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character.[1]
