Analysis of flexible fiber suspensions using the Lattice Boltzmann method

The characteristics of fibers suspensions depend on the properties of fibers, the suspending fluid, and fiber-fiber interactions. This thesis demonstrates the development and application of a novel coupled method (lattice Boltzmann and finite element methods) to investigate these relationships. Fibe...
