A theory of settling of a dilute suspension of identical spherical particles in a viscous incompressible fluid is developed on the basis of the equations of transient Stokesian dynamics. The equations describe hydrodynamic interactions between particles moving under the influence of a constant...

Sedimentation of a dilute disordered suspension of spherical particles in a viscous incompressible fluid is studied in the limit of low Reynolds number. The static structure factor and the velocity correlation functions of the suspended particles are shown to exhibit screening for a class of...
