Abstract

Description

We propose a model for the nonequilibrium enhancement of colloidal self-diffusion in an externally imposed shear flow in charged systems. The enhancement of diffusion is calculated in terms of the electrostatic, two--body interactions between the particles in the shear flow. In the high shear rate, low volume fraction limit in which our model is valid, we compare these calculations to the experiments of Qiu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 2554 (1988)].
