Abstract
This paper uses asymptotic methods to analyse the flow in a narrow channel of a fluid with temperature-dependent viscosity and internal viscous dissipation. When the Nahme–Griffith number is large we show how the flow evolves from Poiseuille flow with a uniform temperature distribution to a plug flow with hot boundary layers on the walls. An asymptotic solution is obtained for the flow in the region of transition from Poiseuille to plug flow and an explicit equation is derived for the pressure gradient in terms of the local downstream co-ordinate in this transition region.

Viscous heating in fluids with temperature-dependent viscosity: implications for magma flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the thermal and mechanical effects caused by viscous heating in infinitely long tubes of finite lengths and found that viscous heat is responsible for the evolution from Poiseuille flow, with a uniform temperature distribution at the inlet, to a plug flow with a hotter layer near the walls.

On the computation of blow-up

TL;DR: In this article, a class of time-stepping strategies that correspond to a time-continuous re-scaling of the underlying differential equation is proposed; this class is analyzed and criteria established to determine suitable choices for the rescaling.

Variable-viscosity flows in heated and cooled channels

TL;DR: In this article, an asymptotic description of Newtonian fluid flow in a channel which is suddenly heated or cooled is given, where the viscosity is assumed to be purely a function of temperature.
