Nonlinear enhanced dissipation in viscous Burgers type equations II
We construct a class of infinite mass functions for which solutions of the viscous Burgers equation decay at a better rate than the solution of the heat equation for the same initial data in this class. In other words, we show an enhanced dissipation coming from a nonlinear transport term.

Wave dissipation by flexible vegetation [PDF]
Dissipation of waves propagating through natural salt marsh vegetation was about half the dissipation expected for rigid vegetation. This low dissipation was predicted by a theoretical model that accounts for bending of vegetation by wave motions.

Numerical Investigation of Viscous Dissipation in Elliptic Microducts [PDF]
In this work a numerical analysis of heat transfer in elliptical microchannels heated at constant and uniform heat flux is presented. A gaseous flow has been considered, in laminar steady state condition, in hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed forced convection, accounting for the rarefaction effects.

Puncture of a Viscous Liquid Film Due to Droplet Falling
Droplet impact may rupture a liquid film on a non-wettable surface. The formation of a stable dry spot has only been studied in the inviscid case. Here, we examine the break-up of viscous films, and demonstrate the importance and role of the viscous ...

Role of Viscous Dissipative Processes on the Wetting of Textured Surfaces [PDF]
AbstractWe investigate the role of viscous forces on the wetting of hydrophobic, semi-hydrophobic and hydrophilic textured surfaces as second-order effects. We show that during the initial contact, the transition from inertia- to viscous-dominant regime occurs regardless of their surface topography and chemistry.

A numerical investigation of horizontal viscous gravity currents [PDF]
We study numerically the viscous phase of horizontal gravity currents of immiscible fluids in the lock-exchange configuration. A numerical technique capable of dealing with stiff density gradients is used, allowing us to mimic high-Schmidt-number ...

Effect of Viscous Dissipation and Thermoporesis on the Flow Over an Exponentially Stretching Sheet [PDF]
This article analyses the influence of viscous dissipation and thermoporesis effects on the viscous fluid flow over a porous sheet stretching exponentially by applying convective boundary condition.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...
