On the Steady Regime Assumptions in Flows Involving Short Fiber Suspensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study addresses the issue of the steady regime assumption in flows involving short fibers usually introduced for the analysis of rheometric flows or in the simulation of some kind of forming processes as is the case of the extrusion. For this purpose we analyze the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation in simple shear flows for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems. Despite the simplicity of that flow, it brings the possibility of comparing exact and numerical solutions. Thus, exact analytical solutions and results of numerical simulations based on the finite element technique and the method of particles are presented. The effect of diffusion on the existence of steady solutions, and more particularly on the time required to reach that steady solution, is investigated.

Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Simulation after Arterial Stenosis- Steady State and Pulsatile Approaches
Arterial stenosis, for example Atherosclerosis, is one of the most serious forms of arterial disease in the formation of which hemodynamic factors play a significant role. In the present study, a 3-D rigid carotid artery with axisymmetric stenosis with 75% reduction in cross-sectional area is considered. Laminar blood flow is assumed to have both Newtonian and non-Newtonian behavior (generalize...

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...

This paper refers to complex granular-fluid mixtures involved into geophysical flows, such as debris and hyper-concentrated flows. For such phenomena, the interstitial fluids play a role when they are in the viscous regime. Referring to experiments on granular-fluid mixture carried out with pressure imposed annular shear cell, we study the rheological behaviour of dense mixture involving both s...
متن کاملMagnetorheology of Fiber Suspensions. I. Experimental Authors
SYNOPSIS This work reports a detailed study on the shear magnetorheology of suspensions of magnetic microfibers. The steady-state regime was investigated using a controlled-stress rheometer, for different concentrations of particles and under the presence of a broad range of applied magnetic fields (up to 512 kA m-1). The results were compared with those obtained for conventional magnetorheolog...
