Abstract
AbstractThe rotation of an inertialess ellipsoidal particle in a shear flow of a Newtonian fluid has been firstly analyzed by Jeffery [1]. He found that the particle rotates such that the end of its symmetry axis describes a closed periodic orbit. Based on the balance equation of the angular momentum we derived the equation of rotational motion of a cylindrical particle, that is suspended in a plane shear flow field of a viscous fluid, and solved numerically. The rotary inertia is taken into account. The solution is compared with the rotation of a slender particle. (© 2011 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
