Viscous dissipation in the rupture of cell–cell contacts

Nature Materials
Cell-cell adhesions mediated by adherens junctions, structures connecting cells to each other and to the cortical cytoskeleton, are essential for epithelial physical and biological integrity. Nonetheless, how such structures resist mechanical stimuli that prompt cell-cell rupture is still not fully understood.

Viscous dissipation at the Venus ionopause

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1982
A study of the effects of the transfer of momentum of the shocked solar wind to the Venus ionosphere near the terminator region is presented. It is shown that the deficiency of momentum flux within the velocity boundary layer in the ionosheath is comparable to the momentum flux present in the upper ionosphere near the terminator.

Viscous Dissipation Caused by a Sphere

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1956
Recent studies have led to a satisfactory solution to the problem of acoustic streaming in the vicinity of a sphere for s/a≪1, where s is the oscillation amplitude, and a is the radius of the sphere. The results of these studies have now been applied to the calculation of the inherent energy losses. The energies in the dc vortices and in the primary ac

Dissipative soft modes in viscous nematodynamics

Rheologica Acta, 2005
The paper analyses a possible occurrence of soft and semi-soft viscous modes in slow (low Reynolds number) flows of uniaxially anisotropic nematic liquids as described by the five parametric Leslie-Ericksen-Parodi (LEP) constitutive equations (CEs).

Viscous energy dissipation in a micropolar fluid

International Journal of Engineering Science, 1984
Heating of a heat conducting micropolar fluid due to viscous energy dissipation has been studied analytically for Couette and Poiseuille flows. The allowance for the internal structure of a fluid in calculating its dissipative heating under certain conditions exhibits an appreciable increase in temperature for Couette flows and its decrease, for ...

Viscoelastic Rotating Flow With Viscous Dissipation

Volume 7: Fluids Engineering Systems and Technologies, 2014
The rotational flow of pseudoplastic fluids between concentric cylinders is examined while dissipation due to viscous effects is taken into account. The viscosity of fluid is dependent on shear rate only. The shear rate dependence of viscosity is modeled according to the Carreau equation.

Viscous dissipation in steep capillary–gravity waves

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1997
Some simple but exact general expressions are derived for the viscous stresses required at the surface of irrotational capillary–gravity waves of periodic or solitary type on deep water in order to maintain them in steady motion. These expressions are applied to nonlinear capillary waves, and to capillary–gravity waves of solitary type on ...

Viscous dissipation rate in concentrated suspensions

Physics of Fluids, 1994
The constitutive equation proposed by Phillips et al. [Phys. Fluids A 4, 30 (1992)] for shear induced particle migration in viscous flows of concentrated suspensions is used to calculate the change in viscous dissipation rate occurring when the particle distribution changes from a homogeneous state to the steady state.

On the theory of dissipative phenomena in viscous liquids

Physica B: Condensed Matter, 1990
Abstract The method of non-equilibrium density matrix has been used to express the viscosity of liquid substances resulting in a simple computation algorithm of η as a function of temperature and several other parameters of the system. An adequate transition from the correlator to the tensor of the energy-momentum flux connected to the viscosity η to

On the thermal instability induced by viscous dissipation

International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 2015
Abstract The effect of viscous dissipation may be the sole cause of a thermoconvective instability either in a fluid clear of solid material or in a fluid-saturated porous medium. Several recent investigations have contributed to illustrate this result under different flow and thermal conditions.
