Simulating the Dynamics of Flexible Wood Pulp Fibres in Suspension

نویسنده

  • John M. Stockie
چکیده

We investigate the dynamics of a flexible, elastic fibre, suspended in a fluid and subjected to a 3D shear flow. Simulations are performed using the “Immersed Boundary Method,” and are distinguished by their ability to capture the hydrodynamic interaction between the fluid and fibre, as well as the detailed structure of the individual fibres. Suspensions of flexible fibres are encountered in many industrial problems, although we focus in this work on the application to wood pulp fibre suspensions.

Enzymatic Bleaching of Wood Pulp

The dark colour of kraft pulp after the wood chips have been heated at high temperature with NaOH solution is caused by lignin (a complex phenolic polymer) still attached to the cellulose fibres. Traditionally this pulp is treated with chlorine to bleach the pulp to make it suitable for paper making. Unfortunately this leads to the formation of some potentially toxic chlorophenolic compounds of...

Evaluation of Comparativ Advantage in the Wood Products Industry in Iran

Economists believe that the development of the industry sector is for the benefit of other sectors of the economy. In 23 groups of industrial activity in classification ISIC, the production and export of wood industries have received less attention in developing countries. exports of wood products have a major impact on the GDP and provide employment and sustainable development of natural resou...

Investigation into the supramolecular properties of fibres regenerated from cotton based waste garments.

This paper investigated the supramolecular properties and accessibility of fibres regenerated from cotton-based waste garments and compared to typical lyocell fibres. The supramolecular and accessibility properties of the cotton-based waste garments fibres regenerated from three sources (waste denim garments, easy care finished cotton fabrics and a blend of cotton-based waste garment with wood ...

The instability of a sedimenting suspension of weakly flexible fibres

Suspensions of sedimenting slender fibres in a viscous fluid are known to be unstable to fluctuations of concentration. In this paper we develop a theory for the role of fibre flexibility in sedimenting suspensions in the asymptotic regime of weakly flexible bodies (large elasto-gravitation number). Unlike the behaviour of straight fibres, individual flexible filaments rotate as they sediment, ...
