• "id" is the material ID corresponding to a subset (or all) of the generated material points.
• "type" is either "Bingham2D" or "Bingham3D".
• "density" is material density.
• "youngs_modulus" is the constant elastic parameter Young's modulus.
• "poisson_ratio" is the constant elastic parameter Poisson's ratio.
• "tau0" is the shear yield stress.
• "mu" is the constant plastic viscosity.
• "critical_shear_rate" is the critical yielding shear rate.
• "incompressible" flag is set true for incompressible materials.

Details of the constitutive equations for non-Newtonian fluids are provided in [1]. The general Bingham model is from [2].
