The linear stability analysis was performed applying the flow stability theory and slender body theory. The results of numerical analysis show that fibres and their hydrodynamic interactions reinforce the flow stability.

文摘The distribution function and orientation tensor of fiber suspensions in wedge shaped flow field were computed . The results indicate that with time increasing, the fiber orient themselves to flow direction gradually. At the locations with same pole radii, the angle between fiber orientation and centerline, which occurs with the most probability, decreases with the pole angle increasing . At the locations with same pole angle, the angle between fiber orientation and centerline increases with the pole radii decreasing. The second order tensors get steady more quickly at the points where the velocity g radients are larger. At the locations with same pole angle, the steady values of orientation tensors are identical. At the locations with same pole radii is, streamline becomes flatter as the pole angle decreases.
