Sentences with phrase «viscous relaxation»

-- a consistent gas with thermal relaxation rates that are slow compared to hydrodynamic viscous relaxation rates (that work to slow dynamical shear whenever it occurs within the gas, gas parcels moving in opposite relative directions) and convective relaxation rates.

As the glass cools, the time it needs to demonstrate liquid behavior (the «viscous relaxation time») increases and eventually reaches extremes.

Using Vikram - 100, the 100TF High Performance Computing facility at the Physical Research Laboratory, the researchers simulated the viscous relaxation and verified accurate flux - freezing, a conservative behavior a reliable simulation must demonstrate.

Sori and his colleagues hypothesized that another process, called viscous relaxation, could be at work.

On Ceres, viscous relaxation could be causing older cryovolcanoes to flatten out over millions of years so they are hard to discern.
