Petrie, Christopher J. S. The rheology of fibre suspensions. (English) Zbl 0948.76079 J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 87, No. 2-3, 369-402 (1999). Summary: 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 régimes.
