Once the gas has settled onto closed orbits, dissipative processes will cause it to drift slowly along a sequence of such orbits to ever lower energies.

As dissipative processes within the gas radiate energy, each cloudlet gradually drifts inwards until it approaches the OLR.

Common dissipative processes in magnetic materials include magnetostriction and domain wall motion.

More general versions of this function have been used by many subsequent investigators of the nature of dissipative processes and dynamical structures.

The dissipative convective process results the opposition of diffusion gradients and friction between the polyelectrolyte chains.

Pumping and stirring effects in quantum physics have counterparts in purely classical stochastic and dissipative processes .

Drag is a dissipative process which generally results in the generation of heat.

Thermodynamic dissipative processes are essentially irreversible.

A particular occasion of occurrence of a dissipative process cannot be described by a single individual Hamiltonian formalism.

A dissipative process requires a collection of admissible individual Hamiltonian descriptions, exactly which one describes the actual particular occurrence of the process of interest being unknown.
