Abstract

We developed a unique numerical method for direct numerical simulations (DNS) of dense colloidal dispersions. This method, called the smoothed profile method (SPM), enables us to compute the time evolutions of colloidal particles, ions, and host fluids simultaneously by solving Newton, advection-diffusion, and Navier-Stokes equations so that the electro- hydrodynamic couplings can be fully taken into account. We have applied the SPM successfully for simulating the dynamics of various particle dispersions including the following problems.
