The Brownian solvent medium is simulated explicitly with the SDPD model and it mediates the long-range fluctuating hydrodynamic interaction between suspended particles. To account for the short-range lubrication interactions, interparticle correction terms are included. In particular, in the Brownian regime the GENERIC framework is used to introduce the stochastic contribution to the lubrication, complying the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem. The resulting stochastic equations are solved implicitly by using a splitting technique. The SDPD scheme allows to accurately and efficiently simulate dilute to highly concentrated Brownian suspensions of spheres. Diffusivity, rheology and microstructure of the Brownian particulate system are discussed and compared with previous simulations and experimental results. The effect of the stochastic lubrication model is also analyzed and discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess33 Ciencias Tecnológicasartículofluctuating hydrodynamicsSmoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamicsstochastic lubricationbrownian suspension rheology
