Effects of interparticle attractions on colloidal sedimentation.

We use a mesoscopic simulation technique to study the effect of short-ranged interparticle attractions on the steady-state sedimentation of colloidal suspensions. Attractions increase the average sedimentation velocity v(s) compared to the pure hard-sphere case, and for strong enough attractions, a...
