We propose an analytical model for the determination of the microstructure and stresses in a sheared suspension that consists of a dense monolayer of identical spheres in a viscous fluid. We calculate the anisotropy in the orientational distribution of spheres, associated with a short-range repulsive force assumed to act between the spheres, and a particle pressure and normal stress difference that result from this anisotropy. The microstructure and stresses are similar to those measured in Stokesian dynamics simulations.

Abstract
We propose an analytical model for the determination of the microstructure and stresses in a sheared suspension that consists of a dense monolayer of identical spheres in a viscous fluid. We calculate the anisotropy in the orientational distribution of spheres, associated with a short-range repulsive force assumed to act between the spheres, and a particle pressure and normal stress difference that result from this anisotropy. The microstructure and stresses are similar to those measured in Stokesian dynamics simulations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
