"When addressing the flow of concentrated suspensions composed of rods, dense clusters are observed. Thus, the adequate modelling and simulation of such a flow requires addressing the kinematics of these dense clusters and their impact on the flow in which they are immersed. In a former work, we addressed a first modelling framework of these clusters, assumed so dense that they were considered rigid and their kinematics (flow-induced rotation) were totally defined by a symmetric tensor c with unit trace representing the cluster conformation. Then, the rigid nature of the clusters was relaxed, assuming them deformable, and a model giving the evolution of both the cluster shape and its microstructural orientation descriptor (the so-called shape and orientation tensors) was proposed. This paper compares the predictions coming from those models with finer-scale discrete simulations inspired from molecular dynamics modelling.","PEREZ, Marta||SCHEUER, Adrien||AMMAR, Amine||CHINESTA, Francisco||KEUNINGS, Roland||ABISSET-CHAVANNE, Emmanuelle","10.1007/s00161-018-0659-1","0935-1175","4","Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics","955-967","Post-print","On the multi-scale description of micro-structured fluids composed of aggregating rods","Article dans une revue avec comité de lecture","Springer Verlag","31","2019"
