Part of the Mathematics in Industry book series (TECMI,volume 22)

Abstract

Main result of this article is demonstrating the weak global in time well posedness result for the equations governing fiber suspension flows for sufficiently small initial data under mild assumptions about the nonlinear equation for fiber orientation dynamics and the constitutive law, thus extending the previous local in time results. The required estimate of growth of the H 2 norm is granted if the L norm of fiber orientation state variables remains bounded. This is the case for fiber orientation tensors.
