The influence of hydrodynamic interactions on lane formation of oppositely charged driven colloidal suspensions is investigated using Brownian dynamics computer simulations performed on the Rotne-Prager level of the mobility tensor. Two cases are considered, namely sedimentation and electrophoresis. In the latter case the Oseen contribution to the mobility tensor is screened due to the opposite motion of counterions. The simulation results are compared to that resulting from simple Brownian dynamics where hydrodynamic interactions are neglected. For sedimentation, we find that hydrodynamic interactions strongly disfavor laning. In the steady-state of lanes, a macroscopic phase separation of lanes is observed. This is in marked contrast to the simple Brownian case where a finite size of lanes was obtained in the steady-state. For strong Coulomb interactions between the colloidal particles a lateral square lattice of oppositely driven lanes is stable similar to the simple Brownian dynamics. In an electric field, on the other hand, the behavior is found in qualitative and quantitative accordance with the case of neglected hydrodynamics.

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the influence of hydrodynamic interactions on vertical segregation (stratification) in drying mixtures of long and short polymer chains. In agreement with previous computer simulat
ions and theoretical modeling, the short polymers stratify on top of the long polymers at the top of the drying film when hydrodynamic interactions between polymers are neglected. However, no stratification occurs at the same drying conditions when hydrodynamic interactions are incorporated through an explicit solvent model. Our analysis demonstrates that models lacking hydrodynamic interactions do not faithfully represent stratification in drying mixtures, in agreement with recent analysis of an idealized model for diffusiophoresis, and must be incorporated into such models in future.
A density functional theory for colloidal dynamics is presented which includes hydrodynamic interactions between the colloidal particles. The theory is applied to the dynamics of colloidal particles in an optical trap which switches periodically in t
ime from a stable to unstable confining potential. In the absence of hydrodynamic interactions, the resulting density breathing mode, exhibits huge oscillations in the trap center which are almost completely damped by hydrodynamic interactions. The predicted dynamical density fields are in good agreement with Brownian dynamics computer simulations.
Dynamic processes in dispersions of charged spherical particles are of importance both in fundamental science, and in technical and bio-medical applications. There exists a large variety of charged-particles systems, ranging from nanometer-sized elec
trolyte ions to micron-sized charge-stabilized colloids. We review recent advances in theoretical methods for the calculation of linear transport coefficients in concentrated particulate systems, with the focus on hydrodynamic interactions and electrokinetic effects. Considered transport properties are the dispersion viscosity, self- and collective diffusion coefficients, sedimentation coefficients, and electrophoretic mobilities and conductivities of ionic particle species in an external electric field. Advances by our group are also discussed, including a novel mode-coupling-theory method for conduction-diffusion and viscoelastic properties of strong electrolyte solutions. Furthermore, results are presented for dispersions of solvent-permeable particles, and particles with non-zero hydrodynamic surface slip. The concentration-dependent swelling of ionic microgels is discussed, as well as a far-reaching dynamic scaling behavior relating colloidal long- to short-time dynamics.
Self-propelled phoretic colloids have recently emerged as a promising avenue for the design of artificial swimmers. These swimmers combine purely phoretic interactions with intricate hydrodynamics which critically depend on the swimmer shape. Thermop
hobic dimer shaped colloids are here investigated by means of hydrodynamic simulations, from the single particle motion to their collective behavior. The combination of phoretic repulsion with hydrodynamic lateral attraction favors the formation of planar moving clusters. The resulting hydrodynamic assembly in flattened swarms is therefore very specific to these dimeric active colloids.
Monte Carlo simulations have been performed for aqueous charged colloidal suspensions as a function of charge density on the particles and salt concentration. We vary the charge density in our simulations over a range where a reentrant solid-liquid t
ransition in suspensions of silica and polymer latex particles has been reported by Yamanaka et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80 5806 (1998)]. We show that at low ionic strengths a homogeneous liquid-like ordered suspension undergoes crystallization upon increasing charge density . Further increase in charge density resulted once again a disordered state which is in agreement with experimental observations. In addition to this reentrant order-disorder transition, we observe an inhomogeneous to homogeneous transition in our simulations when salt is added to the disordered inhomogeneous state. This inhomogeneous to homogeneous disordered transition is analogous to the solid-gas transition of atomic systems and has not yet been observed in charged colloids. The reported experimental observations on charged colloidal suspensions are discussed in the light of present simulation results.
