viscous dissipation
(fluid KE converted to heat due to viscosity)
Viscous dissipation is an aspect of fluid dynamics: the drag
due to viscosity (the tendency of moving fluid to drag along
adjacent fluid), force which slows down (dissipates) fluid flows,
producing heat, i.e., converting kinetic energy to heat energy.
A term to represent the effect can be included in fluid dynamic
equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations.
