Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

We review theoretical work on the rheology of fibre suspensions. We seek to clarify one or two confusions in published work and also give a small improvement to Batchelor's formula for extensional viscosity of suspensions of long fibres between the dilute and semi-dilute regimes.
