Abstract

Basic principles that govern the viscous motion of non-colloidal particles are described, and then the principles are applied to the analysis and simulation of the collective motion of particles in a concentrated suspension. Though rigid spheres are discussed in general, the dynamics of rigid rods are the focus of the given examples, equations, and simulation methods.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A thorough and readable introduction to these concepts is available in the text by Guazzelli and Morris (2012). Also, the text by Kim and Karrila (2005) is a useful handbook containing multiple relationships for performing calculations on these types of suspensions.
