Velocity fluctuations and hydrodynamic diffusion in sedimentation
We study non-equilibrium velocity fluctuations in a model for the
sedimentation of non-Brownian particles experiencing long-range hydrodynamic
interactions. The complex behavior of these fluctuations, the outcome of the
collective dynamics of the particles, exhibits many of the features observed in
sedimentation experiments. In addition, our model predicts a final relaxation
to an anisotropic (hydrodynamic) diffusive state that could be observed in
experiments performed over longer time ranges.Comment: 7 pages, 5 EPS figures, EPL styl
Direct numerical simulations for non-Newtonian rheology of concentrated particle dispersions
The non-Newtonian behavior of a monodisperse concentrated dispersion of
spherical particles was investigated using a direct numerical simulation
method, that takes into account hydrodynamic interactions and thermal
fluctuations accurately. Simulations were performed under steady shear flow
with periodic boundary conditions in the three directions. The apparent shear
viscosity of the dispersions was calculated at volume fractions ranging from
0.31 to 0.56. Shear-thinning behavior was clearly observed at high volume
fractions. The low- and high-limiting viscosities were then estimated from the
apparent viscosity by fitting these data into a semi-empirical formula.
Furthermore, the short-time motions were examined for Brownian particles
fluctuating in concentrated dispersions, for which the fluid inertia plays an
important role. The mean square displacement was monitored in the vorticity
direction at several different Peclet numbers and volume fractions so that the
particle diffusion coefficient is determined from the long-time behavior of the
mean square displacement. Finally, the relationship between the non-Newtonian
viscosity of the dispersions and the structural relaxation of the dispersed
Brownian particles is examined
A Simulation Method to Resolve Hydrodynamic Interactions in Colloidal Dispersions
A new computational method is presented to resolve hydrodynamic interactions
acting on solid particles immersed in incompressible host fluids. In this
method, boundaries between solid particles and host fluids are replaced with a
continuous interface by assuming a smoothed profile. This enabled us to
calculate hydrodynamic interactions both efficiently and accurately, without
neglecting many-body interactions. The validity of the method was tested by
calculating the drag force acting on a single cylindrical rod moving in an
incompressible Newtonian fluid. This method was then applied in order to
simulate sedimentation process of colloidal dispersions.Comment: 7pages, 7 figure
Effect of Salt Concentration on the Electrophoretic Speed of a Polyelectrolyte through a Nanopore
In a previous paper [S. Ghosal, Phys. Rev. E 74, 041901 (2006)] a
hydrodynamic model for determining the electrophoretic speed of a
polyelectrolyte through an axially symmetric slowly varying nanopore was
presented in the limit of a vanishingly small Debye length. Here the case of a
finite Debye layer thickness is considered while restricting the pore geometry
to that of a cylinder of length much larger than the diameter. Further, the
possibility of a uniform surface charge on the walls of the nanopore is taken
into account. It is thereby shown that the calculated transit times are
consistent with recent measurements in silicon nanopores.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Determination of the zeta potential for highly charged colloidal suspensions
We compute the electrostatic potential at the surface, or zeta potential
, of a charged particle embedded in a colloidal suspension using a
hybrid mesoscopic model. We show that for weakly perturbing electric fields,
the value of obtained at steady state during electrophoresis is
statistically indistinguishable from in thermodynamic equilibrium. We
quantify the effect of counterions concentration on . We also evaluate
the relevance of the lattice resolution for the calculation of and
discuss how to identify the effective electrostatic radius.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures with 2 panel

Electrophoresis of colloidal dispersions in the low-salt regime
We study the electrophoretic mobility of spherical charged colloids in a
low-salt suspension as a function of the colloidal concentration. Using an
effective particle charge and a reduced screening parameter, we map the data
for systems with different particle charges and sizes, including numerical
simulation data with full electrostatics and hydrodynamics and experimental
data for latex dispersions, on a single master curve. We observe two different
volume fraction-dependent regimes for the electrophoretic mobility that can be
explained in terms of the static properties of the ionic double layer.Comment: Substantially revised versio

Systematic characterization of thermodynamic and dynamical phase behavior in systems with short-ranged attraction
In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility and utility of an augmented
version of the Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo method for computing the phase
behavior of systems with strong, extremely short-ranged attractions. For
generic potential shapes, this approach allows for the investigation of
narrower attractive widths than those previously reported. Direct comparison to
previous self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approximation calculations are made.
A preliminary investigation of out-of-equilibrium behavior is also performed.
Our results suggest that the recent observations of stable cluster phases in
systems without long-ranged repulsions are intimately related to gas-crystal
and metastable gas-liquid phase separation.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
