Constitutive equations in suspension mechanics. Part 2. Approximate forms for a suspension of rigid particles affected by Brownian rotations

Hinch, E. J., Leal, L. G.·1976·Journal of Fluid Mechanics

Abstract

Approximate constitutive equations are derived for a dilute suspension of rigid spheroidal particles with Brownian rotations, and the behaviour of the approximations is explored in various flows. Following the suggestion made in the general formulation in part 1, the approximations take the form of Hand's (1962) fluid model, in which the anisotropic microstructure is described by a single second-order tensor. Limiting forms of the exact constitutive equations are derived for weak flows and for a class of strong flows. In both limits the microstructure is shown to be entirely described by a second-order tensor. The proposed approximations are simple interpolations between the limiting forms of the exact equations. Predictions from the exact and approximate constitutive equations are compared for a variety of flows, including some which are not in the class of strong flows analysed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
