Abstract

We have studied the adsorption process of non-Brownian particles on a line incorporating hydrodynamic interactionsa and we have numerically analyzed their effect on typical relevant quantities. We compare our model to the ballistic deposition model (BM) and address the limitations of BM in experimental situations. The results obtained can explain some differences observed between recent experiments and BM predictions.
