The relation between rheolohy and fluid dynamics?

Rheology is a subset of Fluid Dynamics. Still 22:43, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Error?

The article says: <...> rheology is principally concerned with extending the "classical" disciplines of ELASTICITY and Newtonian fluid mechanics <...>

but in the diagram we see that it is related with PLASTICITY and Newtoniam fuild mechanics. Which is the correct? nopes read it again —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.164.33.194 (talk) 07:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

The article also claims that engineering is not considered part of rheology. This is inaccurate. The current president of the Society of Rheology is a chemical engineer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.112.34.254 (talk) 13:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
