Computational modeling of fiber flow during casting of fresh concrete. (English) Zbl 1469.74124
Summary: The Folgar-Tucker fiber orientation model coupled with weakly compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics is used to simulate the process of casting of fiber reinforced concrete and to predict the spatial-temporal evolution of the probability density function of fiber orientation. The flowable concrete-fiber mix is modeled as a viscous Bingham-type fluid. Model predictions qualitatively agree with fiber orientations observed in an L-box test with fibers suspended in transparent gel. Important factors and assumptions regarding the fiber flow are reviewed and conclusions are drawn based on numerical experiments.
