Thermodiffusion of particles suspended in a pure liquid is a thorny problem which has not yet received a solution admitted by all the different communities interested in. We approach the subject with macroscopic tools exclusively, hydrodynamics and irreversible thermodynamics. These tools have...

The numerical solutions of the mode-coupling equations for the Lennard-Jones binary colloids are investigated by extensive Brownian-dynamics simulations from a unified point of view based on the mean-field theory proposed recently by one of the present authors [M. Tokuyama, Physica A 378 (2007)...

The experimental and the simulation results for the mean-square displacements in eight different systems (four suspensions of colloids and four molecular systems) are analyzed near their glass transitions by the mean-field theory recently proposed. The dependence of various physical quantities...

This paper compares simulation and experiment to verify how a hard-sphere fluid is different from a suspension of hard-sphere colloids near the glass transition at 6% polydispersity. This is done by performing extensive molecular-dynamic simulations and by analyzing the resultant mean-square...

It is shown that a proposed analytical expression accurately fits simulation data of Hagen et al. (Physica A 272 (1999) 376) for the rotational velocity autocorrelation function of interacting Brownian particles. The fit is designed for intermediate and long times, but is also quite good at...
