The steady-state Couette flow between two plane-parallel plates of finite thickness is considered. Fluids with the viscosity that decreases with increase in the temperature are considered. It is shown that the isothermality condition across the plates can be violated in the practically important case of small distances between the plates. This leads to the possibility of using dissipation to heat the fluid and, as a result, to significant reduction in friction without additional energy supply.

通过阻塞耗散减少粘性摩擦的效果

考虑了有限厚度的两个平面平行板之间的稳态库埃特流。考虑粘度随温度升高而降低的流体。结果表明，在板块之间的小距离的实际重要情况下，可以违反板块之间的等温条件。这导致了使用耗散来加热流体的可能性，从而在没有额外能量供应的情况下显着减少摩擦。
