| Abstract | The hydrodynamic interaction between two colloids mediated by non-adsorbing polymer chains is considered for spherical colloids moving along the symmetric line. We present a resistance analysis and determine the mobility function that incorporates the polymer depletion effect. The hydrodynamic friction is calculated by solving the Stokes equation with non-uniform viscosity using the vorticity-stream function method and a bispherical coordinate transformation. The numerical results show the effective viscosity asymptotically approaches the single sphere limit of Fan et al. (T.-H. Fan, B. Xie and R. Tuinier, Phys. Rev. E., 2007, 76, 051405) for a large interparticle distance. As the particles get closer the effective viscosity decreases and finally approaches the lubrication limit, where the friction equals that of two close-approached spheres in a pure solvent. The flow analysis shows that the circulation pattern, a characteristic for the presence of the depletion layer, expands upon approach of the particles. The pressure contribution to the total drag force is determined by a competition between the lubrication force and the apparent slip effect caused by overlap of the depletion layers. The friction of the single sphere limit is only attained in the limit of an extremely small colloid volume fractions. Our results help rationalize the long-time relative diffusivity of Brownian particles in polymer solutions and this is important for a better understanding of the depletion-induced demixing kinetics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
