2. Fiber orientation patterns – ly diluted suspensions

After seeing how to describe an orientation state for fiber populations, it is essential to predict its evolution during a flow generated by a forming process. The various existing orientation models are all derived from Jeffery's equation, which governs the movement of an isolated fiber.

2.1 Jeffery equation

In 1922, Jeffery derives a solution for the flow of a Newtonian fluid around a rigid particle that is...
