Abstract
It is shown that a migration or drift of particles induced by inhomogeneities in the average shear rate will occur in a suspension of spheres with purely hydrodynamic interactions, even in the absence of inertial effects. Two relationships between the drift velocity, the hydrodynamic tracer- and gradient-diffusion coefficients for the suspended particles, and the diffusivity for a fluid-phase chemical tracer are derived.
