Analysis of rheological properties of fibre suspensions in a Newtonian fluid by direct fibre simulation. part1 : rigid fibre suspensions

The presentworkpresents a predictive direct fibre simulator for concentrate fibre suspension basedonthe Particle Simulation Method (PSM), considering near-field hydrodynamic interactions and collision forces to prevent fibres from overlapping. To validate the software, rheological properties such as...
