What is Shear Force?

Shear forces acting tangentially to a surface of a solid body cause deformation. When the fluid is in motion, shear stresses are developed due to the particles in the fluid moving relative to one another. For a fluid flowing in a pipe, fluid velocity will be zero at the pipe wall.
