Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Colloid science
  • Computational physics

Background:

  • Particle-cluster aggregation is crucial in aqueous systems.
  • Simulating numerous interacting particles is computationally intensive.
  • Understanding aggregate formation requires efficient modeling techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient Stokesian dynamics method for simulating particle aggregation.
  • To investigate the aggregation of monodisperse non-Brownian spherical particles in differential settling.
  • To analyze the structural properties and collision efficiency of formed particle clusters.

Main Methods:

  • Application of a novel Stokesian dynamics method capable of simulating up to 500 particles.
  • Modeling aggregation with negligible repulsive colloidal forces, using minimum separation distance for van der Waals attraction.
