Abstract

In multi-particle collision dynamics (MPCD), a solvent is modeled as a large number of point-like particles with a given mass, and particle collisions are expressed in terms of a redistribution of momentum among them. The present study proposes a computational model for dilute spheroidal colloid particle suspensions using an MPCD method called stochastic rotation dynamics (SRD). The present model describes the effect of the colloidal particle volume fraction on the shear viscosity of suspensions by modeling the colloidal particles as SRD particles in a similar manner to solvent particles.
