Influence of hydrodynamic interactions on the ballistic deposition of colloidal particles on solid surfaces

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1 chem-ph

Abstract

The ballistic deposition of particles by taking hydrodynamic interactions (HI) into account has been studied by means of computer simulations. The radial distribution function of the assembly of particles deposited on a plane has been determined as a function of the coverage and compared to experimental data. It appears that the introduction of HI in the model when compared to the ballistic model predictions leads to a better agreement between experiment and simulation in particular for the radial distribution function.
