| Abstract | The effects of both hydrodynamic interaction and the form of the interparticle potential on the aggregation process for dispersed spherical particles are investigated by computational simulation. The simulation methods of Brownian Dynamics (BD) and Stokesian Dynamics (SD) are applied, over a range of solid volume fraction of 0.04≤φ≤0.12. The interparticle potential is a combination of a generalized Lennard-Jones form and a Yukawa potential, the latter of which describes a screened electrostatic repulsion at longer range. The combined potential is parameterized to include a roughly constant primary minimum near contact, along with a variable repulsive barrier at slightly larger separation. The microstructure is characterized through the pair distribution function, g(r), and the static structure factor. The repulsive barrier reduces the rate of aggregation and is also seen to affect the structure, with a large repulsion associated with a more tenuous structure. This is reflected in the potential having a strong effect on the evolution of 'bonds' per particle. Hydrodynamic interactions were found to reduce the solid fraction required for percolation, with the influence depending upon the form of the potential; the difference in percolation threshold was significant, with φ(c,SD)â 0.06 and φ(c,BD)≥0.08 a typical difference for moderate repulsion barriers. These results are for 864 particles in a cubic unit cell. To address the mechanism for this influence of hydrodynamic interactions, a complementary analysis of the evolution of numerous independent three-particle aggregates was performed. The analysis shows that hydrodynamic interaction slows the evolution toward a condensed aggregate of lowest potential energy in a way which cannot be explained by a simple rescaling of the drag due to uncorrelated particle motions. |

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.
