Percolation and conductivity in fluids containing rod-like particles
The PERLA project aims at developing electrically conductive fluids containing rod-like particles. Their novelty is based on the formation of dynamical system-spanning networks in fluid flow. It is well established that rod-like particles do not simply align, but do tumble and rotate in shear or elongational flow. However, the consequences of this tumbling on the percolation and electrical conductivity of suspensions are still unknown. This behaviour is expected to promote collisions and electrical connectivity throughout the suspension. PERLA will validate this fundamental hypothesis, and provide thereby new concepts for the development of conductive fluids with low viscosity, high and…
