The dumbbell model captures key aspects of tidal dissipation.
Model highlights the importance of dissipative interactions in orbital dynamics.
Abstract
We discuss a model describing the effects of tidal dissipation on satellite's orbits. Tidal bulges are described in terms of a dumbbell, coupled to the rotation by a dissipative interaction. The assumptions on this dissipative coupling turns out to be crucial in the evolution of the system.
