A viscous fluid shear device having a housing, a rotor, which is rotatable in the housing, and a wiper that is coupled to the housing. The housing defines a scavenge conduit and a nozzle. Viscous fluid that clings to the circumference of the rotor during operation of the viscous fluid shear device is driven through the nozzle and directed by the wiper into the scavenge conduit.
