We present a comprehensive computational study of the short-time transport properties of bidisperse hard-sphere colloidal suspensions and the corresponding porous media. Our study covers bidisperse particle size ratios up to 4 and total volume fractions up to and beyond the monodisperse hard-sphere close packing limit. The many-body hydrodynamic interactions are computed using conventional Stok...

The effect of hydration on hydrodynamic properties of globular proteins can be expressed in terms of two quantities: the delta (g/g) parameter and the thickness of the hydration layer. The two paradigms on hydration that originate these alternative measures are described and compared. For the numerical calculation of hydrodynamic properties, from which estimates of hydration can be made, we emp...

This paper is devoted to an overview of the basic properties Padé transformation and its generalizations. The merits limitations described approaches are discussed. Particular attention paid application approximants in mechanics liquids gases. One disadvantages asymptotic methods that standard ansatz form a power series some parameter usually does not reflect symmetry original problem. search f...

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by fluid accumulation in small pulmonary airways. The reopening of these fluid-filled airways involves the propagation of an air-liquid interface that exerts injurious hydrodynamic stresses on the epithelial cells (EpC) lining the airway walls. Previous experimental studies have demonstrated that these hydrodynamic stresses may cau...

The hydrodynamic interactions between spherical particles in a viscous fluid play an essential role in the theory of suspensions’). Characteristic of these interactions via the fluid is their very long range. As a consequence, the influence of boundary walls on properties of suspensions can be of importance even in cases where the vessel containing the suspension is very large. The velocity of ...
