Two phase flow model
Turbulent flow is model by Entropy Lattice Boltzmann method.(Keating 2007)
The no-slip boundary condition on the moving particle boundary is handled by an external boundary force method(Wu & Aidun 2010)
• Including the contact and lubrication force models for fibre-fibre and fibre-wall interactions (four ways coupling).
• Fiber model “could” take into account the fiber bending, twisting by apply the bending and twisting moments on each hinge.

Table 2. Fibre parameters for the LBM simulations.
We define a fibre Stokes number based on the fibre response time, ⌧p
(see Andersson
et al. (2012)) and the bulk flow time scale ⌧f
= 1/�̇, where �̇ is a shear rate of the bulk
flow (�̇ = |u|/�). We also formulate a near-wall Stokes number using the near-wall time
scale ⌧+ = ⌫/u2⌧

Table 2 lists the fibre parameter values for the simulations performed. It is noticed that
the bulk Stokes number St is of the order of 0.1, while the near-wall Stokes number is
always less than 3.
In order to analyze the motion of the fibres, we have recorded the fibre statistics at
every 5 time steps. Statistical quantities such as mean velocity, fluctuation intensities,
Reynolds shear stress etc., were then computed based on one million samples, equivalent
to the recording time t = 30t⇤, to make sure that the fibre distribution achieved a
statistically steady state. To analyze the carrier phase, the fluid quantities were stored
every 10 time steps. Here, the averaging was performed over the entire composite flow
field, i.e., containing the regions of fluid and immersed fibres together, since the statistical
di↵erence between the composite fluid and the fluid is very small, as shown by Uhlmann
(2008).

• Small Stokes number• Small inertial effects because the fibres are almost
(or exactly) neutrally buoyant, rρ=1.2 or 1.0•No gravity.

Preferential distribution of the fibres.
Three dimensional view, fibre length L+ = 9.6, vf = 0.44%. The fibre plotted here are fibres within (y+ < 16). The dimensions of the outlined box are 1420, 64 and 396 wall units in the
x, y and z dimensions, respectively.

Conclusions
• The finite size leads to fibre-turbulence interactions that are significantly different from earlier published results for point-like particles (e.g. elongated ellipsoids smaller than the Kolmogorov scale). -An effect that becomes increasingly accentuated with fibre length is an accumulation in high-speed regions near the wall, resulting in a mean fibre velocity that is higher than the mean fluid velocity.
-There is also a resulting preferential concentration near the wall, which was shown to persist even for neutrally buoyant fibres.
• The finite length was also shown to influence the orientation of the fibres in the near-wall region, -Short fibres preferentially rotating around the spanwise direction.
-Long fibres preferentially rotating in the shear (xz) plane and reducing the turbulence intensities in the buffer region (increasing in the bulk).
