Micro Abstract:
This presentation gives a short review on the Fiber-Orientation-Evolution models commonly used in commercial softwares. The basis of the considered models is Jeffery’s equation from 1922 which describes the motion of a single ellipsoidal particle in a Newtonian fluid. The later models extend Jeffery’s equation for many fiber system, with the use of Fiber-Orientation-Tensors. Models are discussed up to the o-iARD-RPR model (Tseng 2016), and compared considering representative flow modes.
