Abstract
An averaged motion approach for modeling Brownian dynamics for suspension systems of electrically charged particles in liquid is developed. The continuum model for the motion of particles consists of a system of integral equations coupled with a degenerate parabolic equation. Existence and uniqueness of global solution for the coupled system are established, and numerical results for the non-Newtonian viscosity of the mixture in terms of shear rate or Pechlet number are obtained. The model reveals some non-Newtonian properties such as the well-known shear thinning phenomenon for the viscosity of colloidal dispersions. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
