Abstract
An ideal fibre-reinforced fluid is incompressible and
inextensible along a family of material
curves that are convected with the fluid. It is a model for continuous
fibre-resin
systems in the
fluid state in which forming processes take place. Like liquid crystals,
these fluids have strong
directional properties. The kinematic and constitutive theory of ideal
fibre-reinforced fluids is
described, with particular reference to plane flows. The class of flows
in which
the fibres are
aligned along the streamlines is considered, and an explanation is given
for the observed prevalence of this class of flows.
