Letter Section RIGID SUSPENSIONS IN VISCOUS FLUID

HRSTRACT
In a previous paperfi]I presented a continuum theory of rigid suspensions. In this work the effect of the torque (due to surrounding viscous fluid) on the rotations of fibers was ignored. Here I consider this effect.
I. INTRODUCTION
Recently I developed a theory of rigid suspensions based on micropolar continuum theory. For thermo-mechanical fiber suspensions the constitutive equations were obtained for the stress and heat vector. Here I quote the stress constitutive equations for the isothermal, incompressible viscous fIuids only

Summarizing : constitutive equations (1);
(i)
The present theory differ from that of Batchelor in the stress
(ii)
Our result (18) coincide with the corresponding equation of
Batchelor for slender bars ; (iii)
Constitutive equations for the thermo-viscous suspensions
given in Ref.1 and the equation of evolution (23) of directors are entirely new.
