Nonspherical Brownian particles. Kinetic description and application to flow birefringence

For a system of noninteracting spheroidal Brownian particles a Fokker-Planck equation is derived which takes into account a hydrodynamical coupling between translational and orientational degrees of freedom. With the moment method, transport relaxation equations are obtained from which an expression for the coefficient of flow birefringence is inferred.
