Tóm tắt

We extend the linear response-like derivation of the generalized Navier-Stokes equation to non-Newtonian flows with rate of strain-dependent transport coefficients. We derive a time correlation function expression for the viscosity tensor and point out possible ambiguities in the operational definitions of viscosity coefficients. Our analysis is specific to a suspension of polar, rod-like ferromagnetic particles. A commentary is included about the approximations that lead from the time correlation function and the molecular definition of the viscosity tensor to the standard, Brownian dynamics model used in the theoretical rheology of suspensions. Some theoretical difficulties and logical inconsistencies are pointed out. Preliminary results for the transport coefficients of dilute suspension of magnetic rod-like particles are presented.
