The present work presents a predictive direct fibre simulator for concentrate fibre suspension based on the Particle Simulation Method (PSM), considering near-field hydrodynamic interactions and collision forces to prevent fibres from overlapping. To validate the software, rheological properties suc

Flexible fibre suspensions in a Newtonian fluid experimentally show shear-thinning and normal stress differences in steady state. This paper discusses properties of the shear viscosity, ร, and the first and second normal stresses, N 1 and N 2 , using the help of direct fibre simulation based on PSM
The present work presents a predictive direct fiber simulation of fiber suspensions under uniaxial extensional flows by Stokesian dynamics, considering both near-and farfield hydrodynamic intrafiber interactions and lubrication approximation for interfibers. Initially, code validation is performed a
