Abstract
Present research work focus on a flow of fibres suspended in a Newtonian solvent through periodically constricted tube using a time marching finite element method.
A semi implicit algorithm, so called, Taylor Galerken/pressure correction scheme is employed to seek the steady state numerical predictions. Effects of inertia and impact of
undulation on flow structure and friction factor is investigated. Co linear fibre constitutive
model is adopted along with quadratic closure approximation. Numerical solutions for
pure Newtonian fluid are compared and close agreement is realized against experimental
as well as numerical results.
