Encyclopedia > Dissipation

A wave that loses amplitude is said to dissipate. The precise nature of the effects depends on the nature of the wave: an atmospheric wave, for instance, may dissipate close to the surface due to friction, at higher levels due to radiative cooling. WAVE (WAVE-3) is a local NBC station in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. It is owned by The Liberty Corporation and broadcast from their main studio in downtown Louisville. ... Amplitude is a nonnegative scalar measure of a waves magnitude of oscillation. ... An atmospheric wave is a periodic disturbance in the fields of atmospheric variables (like surface pressure or geopotential height, temperature, or wind velocity) which may either propagate (traveling wave) or not (stationary wave). ... In physics, friction is the non-conservative resistive force that occurs when two surfaces travel along each other when forced together. ... Radiative cooling is the condition in which a body loses more energy by radiation than it gains from its surroundings. ...

The precise nature of the effects depends on the nature of the wave: an atmospheric wave, for instance, may dissipate close to the surface due to friction with the land mass, and at higher levels due to radiative cooling.
In computational physics, a numerical dissipation is also known as "artificial dissipation" or "artificial diffusion" or "numerical diffusion".
Dissipation is the process of converting mechanical energy of downward flowing water into thermal and acoustical energy.
The Gitlin Law Firm - Woodstock, Illinois -- Dissipation in Illinois Divorce Cases Q&A (1434 words)
Dissipation is limited to the time period at a time period where the marriage is undergoing (or has undergone) an irretrievable breakdown.
Dissipation generally reduces the amount of marital property which the court can divide between the parties because the dissipated property is essentially awarded to the property who was responsible for the use or expenditure of marital funds.
Dissipation can also take the form of buying things for yourself which are reasonable and necessary, such as expensive jewelry, expensive clothing, new cars, etc. Dissipation can also include mismanagement of a family business, excessive expenditures on hobbies, legal fees, expensive vacations, failing to pay mortgage payments, and gifts to relatives.
