Abstract

Using molecular dynamics and stochastic rotation dynamics simulation methods we investigate the influences of hydrodynamics and Brownian motion on sedimentation of colloidal particles. For a single set of colloids immersed in a fluid we study the stacking of the hexagonal planes in the crystal phase formed at the bottom wall of an elongated box, as well as the sedimentation in a horizontal slit where we observe the development of Rayleigh-Taylor-like instabilities. Binary systems allow for even richer behavior, which may be tuned by changing the aspect and mass ratios of the two sets of particles
