Abstract

An asymmetric, triaxial dumbbell in a gradient flow displays the behavior characteristic of axisymmetric dispersed particles without a central symmetry. This suggests that we can use it as the hydrodynamic model of such particles and utilize its equations of motion (3) and (4) in writing the rheological equation of state of dilute suspensions (9). The asymmetry of dispersed particles leads to an increase in the effective viscosity of such suspensions in a simple shear flow.
