abstract

  • AbstractDiffusion of a charged colloidal particle in a two-dimensional simple shear flow was studied by means of Monte Carlo calculations and the effects of a bounding wall and charge of a particle on convective diffusion were elucidated. Taking charge effects into account has a marked effect on the diffusion behavior of the particle, increasing the migration distance. Diffusion of latex colloidal particles in a quartz-powder packed cell was also studied by through-diffusion methods. For the large latex colloidal particles, the effective diffusion coefficients measured are larger than those estimated by Stokes-Einstein equation.
