Interfacial Implications of Odd Viscosity
Odd viscosity passivizes Moffatt vortices, decreasing their size and reducing their intensity by creating normal stress-induced shear stress at the liquid-gas interface. Odd viscosity shows a tendency to moderate singular behavior in corner flows with a free surface.
