The influence of temperature-induced changes in water viscosity on the swimming performance and kinematics of larval Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) was examined using high-speed video recording. The physical effects of viscosity were measured separately from the physiological (Q10) effects of temperature by increasing the viscosity using methyl cellulose. Voluntary swimming speeds of large ...

Gravity current theory has applications to any geophysical phenomena involving the spreading of fluid on a horizontal interface. Many geological gravity currents (e.g., lava flows and mantle plume heads) are composed of cooling fluid with temperature-dependent viscosity. An axisymmetric gravity current theory accounting for these thermo-viscous effects is thus presented and explored here. Unlik...

In this paper, the flow, thermal and concentration analyses of blood as a third grade with gold as nanoparticles through a porous channel are carried out using regular perturbation method. The analysis are carried out using Vogel’s model of temperature-dependent viscosity. The developed models were used to investigate the effects of the nano particles on the concentration, temperature and veloc...

Kubo's formula relates bulk viscosity to the retarded Green's function of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Using low energy theorems of QCD for the latter we derive the formula which relates the bulk viscosity to the energy density and pressure of hot matter. We then employ the available lattice QCD data to extract the bulk viscosity as a function of temperature. We find that close to t...

The onset of convection in the power-law creep regime on the terrestrial planets and icy satellites is poorly constrained. The major difficulty is that the viscosity of power-law fluids approaches infinity when the perturbation amplitudes approach zero and thus the methods of linear theory are inapplicable. Here, we determine the critical Rayleigh number for the onset of convection by starting ...

Spectrally resolved stimulated vibrational echo spectroscopy is used to investigate the dependence of fast protein dynamics on bulk solution viscosity at room temperature in four heme proteins: hemoglobin, myoglobin, a myoglobin mutant with the distal histidine replaced by a valine (H64V), and a cytochrome c552 mutant with the distal methionine replaced by an alanine (M61A). Fructose is added t...

in this paper, for the first time we have studied theoretically the effect of exchange-correlation holes around electrons in gaalas/gaas/gaalas nanostructure on the temperature-dependent dynamic dielectric function of two-dimensional electron gas by employing random phase, stls and hubbard approximations. also, we have investigated another interesting system which is coupled quantum wells struc...

It has been shown that the Boltzmann equation for the viscosity of the A-phase of superfluid 3He at low temperatures has the same form as for a normal Ferrni liquid. The viscosity coefficients A, B, C, D and E are derived exactly. The h , parameter plays an important role in determining the temperature dependence of the viscosity coefficients

[1] Density variations due to changes in bulk chemistry in the lowermost mantle play an important role in the dynamics and chemistry of plumes. In this study we perform a series of high-resolution numerical experiments in an axisymmetric spherical shell to systematically investigate the formation of plumes from a thermochemical boundary layer and the entrainment of the dense material by plumes....

We have built a magnetic needle viscometer capable of measuring the surface shear viscosity of Langmuir monolayers at constant surface pressure or molecular area. A Langmuir trough with dual symmetrical compression/expansion barriers is positioned between two electromagnetic coils that create a homogeneous magnetic field gradient. The gradient drives a Teflon-encapsulated magnetic needle floati...
