Description
When a granular material or a suspension containing elongated particles is flowing we observe that the particles get aligned. This is due to the non-trivial rotation of the grains in a shear flow. How long does it take for the grains to get ordered? In which direction do they align? What is the consequence of ordering on the rheology? Do elongated particles flow easier than spherical ones? In this presentation we overview the dynamics of such systems, focusing on the above questions.
