Molecular simulations of colloidal liquids

Abstract The molecular basis of the Langevin equation is discussed starting from a molecular description of the host liquid. The application of the Langevin equation in the large particle limit is discussed using the Ermak ‘hydrodynamics-free’ algorithm. Illustrations of the behaviour of this algorithm are made for structural, diffusional and frequency dependent viscosity.
