differs somewhat from that described by him, we fully subscribe to Shirkov's ideas and to the overall theoretical program he espouses. Thus, A new renormalization group procedure is used to resum the instead of computing the viscosity (or some other positive definite property) virial series for the viscosity of a hard-sphere suspension. Theoretifrom a Maclaurin-type perturbation series, which is applicable only to small cal results are compared with experimental and numerical simulavalues of the volume fraction, we seek differential equations descriptive of tion data. α­§ 1997 Academic Press how this function evolves with changing f. Once derived, these equations

In this paper we calculate the shear-induced self and gradient diffusivities in a dilute bidisperse suspension of hard spheres. Unlike the interaction of identical spheres, the center of mass of a pair of unequally sized spheres does not translate with the imposed shear flow and hence the radial and
