A simple functional representation of the concentration dependence of the low-shear viscosity eta of hard sphere suspensions is proposed. The representation, which agrees with published literature at all volume fractions phi, has a hitherto-unremarked transition in its functional form at phi approxi

An asymptotic technique is used to derive the functional dependence of effective viscosity on concentration for a suspension of uniform solid spheres, in the limit as concentration approaches its maximum value. This result, containing no empirical constants, is intended to complement the classical E
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
