From Single-Scale to Two-Scales Kinetic Theory Descriptions of Rods Suspensions
This paper proposes a first attempt to define a two-scales kinetic theory description of suspensions involving short fibers, nano-fibers or nanotubes. We start revisiting the description of dilute enough suspensions for which microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic descriptions are available and all them have been successfully applied for describing the rheology of such suspensions. When the su...
متن کاملKinetic Theory Microstructure Modeling in Concentrated Suspensions
When suspensions involving rigid rods become too concentrated, standard dilute theories fail to describe their behavior. Rich microstructures involving complex clusters are observed, and no model allows describing its kinematics and rheological effects. In previous works the authors propose a first attempt to describe such clusters from a micromechanical model, but neither its validity nor the ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic rheology of active particle suspensions: Kinetic theory.
We analyze the effective rheology of a dilute suspension of self-propelled slender particles confined between two infinite parallel plates and subject to a pressure-driven flow. We use a continuum kinetic model to describe the configuration of the particles in the system, in which the disturbance flows induced by the swimmers are taken into account, and use it to calculate estimates of the susp...
متن کاملSmectic filaments in colloidal suspensions of rods.
In supersaturated isotropic mixtures of hard rods, smectic filaments have recently been observed. We propose a model for formation and growth of these filaments similar to the Hoffman-Lauritzen model for polymer crystallization. Filament thickness is determined by a compromise between maximizing the amount of smectic phase formed and minimizing the nucleation barrier for adding new segments to ...
متن کاملFrom Particle to Kinetic and Hydrodynamic Descriptions of Flocking
We discuss the Cucker-Smale’s (C-S) particle model for flocking, deriving precise conditions for flocking to occur when pairwise interactions are sufficiently strong long range. We then derive a Vlasov-type kinetic model for the C-S particle model and prove it exhibits time-asymptotic flocking behavior for arbitrary compactly supported initial data. Finally, we introduce a hydrodynamic descript...
