The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

The past two decades have seen a remarkable progress in the development of synthetic
colloidal agents which are capable of creating directed motion in an unbiased environment …

Suspensions are considered from the perspective of development of their bulk fluid
mechanics. Suspension mechanics has had a fluid mechanical basis since its inception, as …

The microstructural link to the rheology of carbon black suspensions has recently become
clear as a result of advances in computational and experimental methods. This …

Every animal cell is filled with a cytoskeleton, a dynamic gel made of inextensible fibers,
such as microtubules, actin fibers, and intermediate filaments, all suspended in a viscous …

We describe a computational framework for simulating suspensions of rigid particles in
Newtonian Stokes flow. One central building block is a collision-resolution algorithm that …

The aggregation kinetics of sedimenting colloidal particles under fully destabilized
conditions has been investigated over a wide range of particle volume fractions (Φ) and …

Hypothesis In spite of the abundant literature on Brownian simulations of the aggregation
behavior of colloidal suspensions both under quiescent conditions and in the presence of …

Chemically active colloids modify the concentration of chemical solutes surrounding them in
order to self-propel. In doing so, they generate long-ranged hydrodynamic flows and …

Predicting the dynamic behaviors of particles in suspension subject to hydrodynamic
interaction (HI) and external drive can be critical for many applications. By harvesting …
