✦ Synopsis
The construction of kinetic models for a practical description of hard sphere dynamics in fluid, amorphous solid, and crystal phases is outlined. The models are constructed to apply for both elastic and dissipative collisions. As an illustration, the Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics and transport coefficients are calculated for rapid flow granular media.

Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations have been performed on the aggregation dynamics of colloidal particles within the context of a ball-and-string model. Particles are treated as hard spheres that can bind irreversibly through a string attached to their surface. The model is set up to mimic some aspe
Results are described from dynamic light scattering studies on concentrated suspensions of 'hard-sphere' colloidal particles in their equilibrium and metastable fluid states. We have found that the time and wave vector dependencies of the diffusion coefficients and (consequently) the logarithms of t
