How Peclet number affects microstructure and transient cluster aggregation in sedimenting colloidal suspensions.
We study how varying the Péclet number (Pe) affects the steady state sedimentation of colloidal particles that interact through short-ranged attractions. By employing a hybrid molecular dynamics simulation method we demonstrate that the average sedimentation velocity changes from a non-monotonic de...
