Orientation distribution of fibers and rheological property in fiber suspensions flowing in a turbulent boundary layer. (English) Zbl 1257.76145
Summary: A model relating the translational and rotational transport of orientation distribution function (ODF) of fibers to the gradient of mean ODF and the dispersion coefficients is proposed to derive the mean equation for the ODF. Then the ODF of fibers is predicted by numerically solving the mean equation for the ODF together with the equations of turbulent boundary layer flow. Finally the shear stress and first normal stress difference of fiber suspensions are obtained. The results, some of which agree with the available relevant experimental data, show that the most fibers tend to orient to the flow direction. The fiber aspect ratio and Reynolds number have significant and negligible effects on the orientation distribution of fibers, respectively. The additional normal stress due to the presence of fibers is anisotropic. The shear stress of fiber suspension is larger than that of Newtonian solvent, and the first normal stress difference is much less than the shear stress. Both the additional shear stress and the first normal stress difference increase with increasing the fiber concentration and decreasing fiber aspect ratio.
